Member Quotes
Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

pfft!! Try going back about 1500+ years earlier when christianity was really manipulated....
After all the country in question was subdued by the Catholics of spain.

Its a shame that both capitolism and communism were invented by the same people and manipulated to control us to this day.

Possibly unrelated but here goes.

Quote:
MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Homemade bombs exploded early Monday at the Federal Electoral Tribunal, a bank branch and the headquarters of the former ruling party in the country's capital.

Police deactivated a fourth explosive before it went off at a second bank branch and were inspecting a backpack found outside an outlet of the Mexican restaurant chain Sanborns.

There were no injuries and no immediate claims of responsibility for the bombs, which were widely dispersed across the city. Emergency officials received two telephone calls shortly after midnight warning that bombs were about to be detonated.

The explosions shortly afterward damaged an auditorium at the headquarters of the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI. They also shattered windows and caused minor damage at the bank, electoral court and nearby businesses and residences - rattling nerves in Mexico, which has been besieged by protests since its polarizing July 2 presidential elections.

I got into two near brawls with racist blacks in the "upscale" downtown.
Nasty racist blacks. Drug addicted and rude with and entitled attitude. Im sure its not as it seems. However take their baby bottles away and it will be.
I took the train throught the hoods. They do appear as they ARE. Reality is easy for me to see. I know hotbeds of strife when resources get scarce. all too well. St louis and all urban hell holes will seem as they are for sure. Lots of killing and dead things it will BE.

all one needs to do is go hang in good ole St Louis for awhile. Youll see whats going to explode when the cheap stuff runs out. It will be brutal.
I rode the bus and walked the city streets of St. Louis last summer when the city was without power for more than a week due to a huge storm.

Nothing exploded and there was no brutality.

Yeah, what Toecutter says.

If it's this bad in Mexico now, imagine what it'll be like when the oil starts to run really short, which it probably will pretty soon.

Surge in Violence Shocks Even Weary Mexico

Quote:
But in the past year, the number of spectacularly gruesome killings and the intensity of civil unrest have spiked to such alarming levels that even Mexicans who were once hardened by years of violence are shocked.

In flash points across the country, criminals, political groups and the frustrated poor have challenged the authority of institutions, intimidating local officials and spreading fear with little or no worry of legal consequences.

Mexico may be on its way to societal collapse. You think we have illegal immigration problems now? Wait a bit.

The "protesters" are the same groups that have periodically rebelled against their overlords since Maya and Aztec times. Communism/capitalism is merely the current structure the outside world is capable of comprehending. These people wnat to control their own lives and resources...and they still remember how. Can you say the same for people here, Mr. Jefferson, et al. I am no "one world" fan but I recognize my brothers wherever they are and whatever they look like. Of course they may or may not recognize me...

I hope you are Fed-ex'ing your Mayan and Aztez brothers lots of AR15's and 5.56mm.

Presidente Calderon is going to exterminate quite a few of them after December 1st. They will need all the help they can get if Chavez doesn't step up to the plate.

They can't have a communist insurgency without weapons and some means of finance such as kidnapping, narcotics trade, extortion, etc.

Funny how brown people become the scapegoats of our own self created mess.

My post was actually not relevant to this thread. I confused this with another thread I was simultanously monitoring on immigration.

Passionate politics:
Brawl Breaks Out in Mexico Congress
Quote:
Leftist lawmakers threw punches and chairs at their conservative colleagues and some tried to block the doors of the congressional chamber Friday just an hour before incoming President Felipe Calderon was to take the oath of office there.
Ruling party lawmakers, chanting "Mexico wants peace," seized the speaker's platform where Calderon was supposed to appear, while leftist opponents blocked most of the chamber's doors.

Not much action in this clip, though:
