IF an immigrant wants to be an American ,he must be committed to assimilation ..pure and simple ,he cannot be an American and something else .My Grandfather came here in 1905 from ROME Italy and stated we are Americans now .! He learned to speak English,he sent for his two brothers and sponsored them (commitment to support them until they became self supporting) .He told them go to night school and learn English while you work days .Outside of the House speak English ,but out of respect to your parents its ok to speak the native language to them .He got a job as a CRANE operator and kept it through the depression and wars,(over 60 years)had 12 children none were ever arrested for any crime ,all worked everyday women included.3 died from TB contracted where they worked at age 19-21 (about 1932)One served in the military WW2 ,all got married ( No single moms)(that was considered disgraceful).Yet today there are still NO single MOMS among the Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren .The men worked sometimes two jobs .The women all worked and brought home their paychecks ..Grandfather kept a small portion of it and put it away for them ..When they got married he gave it all back to them and added what he could to give them a big wedding and “good start” . The women always brought something to the marriage ! Thats part of his lesson in savings for the future ..None collected welfare ,none were on dope,some of the men smoked cigarettes until 1970’s but quit.Drinking was moderate only one had an alcohol problem even to today of 100 descendent’s . He was a strict even handed good man with moral character ,always considered himself an American even though he spoke Italian too.He made a committment to America and asked nothing more than a chance to work and help build America .His 93 years were well spent .It started with his commitment ,not with “what are you going to give me”. A few made a few million in business some of the cousins started their own businesses as my father did. Some ran restaurants ,wholesale fish businesses ,clothing manufacturing,road building construction ,hotels ,stock brokers ,Wall st analyst..work WAS THE key ! THE BUSINESS OF AMERICA WAS BUSINESS. JOBS JOBS JOBS made it all possible…My advice is invest in yourself not in some politician who promises to take from someone else and give it to you .Dont be a thiefs partner! RANT over!
Paul Craig Roberts: “Fellow Americans, Wake Up & Escape The Matrix”
Parts:
military and propaganda provocations against Russia?
When half of 25-year olds cannot marry and form households
giving up their manufacturing and professional skill jobs to foreigners
Americans come out of university heavily indebted
and realize that your most deadly enemy is Washington
NOTE:
“we” didn’t give up or do anything. “They” foreign and domestic special interests did it all.
Comment:
The constant military and propaganda provocations against Russia and vice versa “false rivalry” since after WW II are promoted by the special interests that profit on tit for tat better for better and better weapons. Not even one shot fired during that cold war baloney, and USSR collapsed before we did.
“and realize that your most deadly enemy is Washington”???? Wrong. The people should realize that your most deadly enemy is the rat poison foreign made imported manufactured products that Washington feeds us, or encourages us to buy via NAFTA GATT etc.
Hey, nothing matters anymore. It all happened. They got away with it. Who the hell is Paul Craig Roberts anyway? Establishment flunky? Talks about bad results we already know? No mention of false exchange rates? No bashing of imports? Imports KILLED the private small businesses and related profits and wages in this country.
Paul Craig Roberts: “Fellow Americans, Wake Up & Escape The Matrix”
Authored by Paul Craig Roberts,
Where Do Matters Stand?
On the eve of World War II the United States was still mired in the Great Depression and found itself facing war on two fronts with Japan and Germany. However bleak the outlook, it was nothing compared to the outlook today.
Has anyone in Washington, the presstitute Western media, the EU, or NATO ever considered the consequences of constant military and propaganda provocations against Russia? Is there anyone in any responsible position anywhere in the Western world who has enough sense to ask: “What if the Russians believe us? What if we convince Russia that we are going to attack her?”
The same can be asked about China.
The recklessness of the White House Fool and the media whores has gone far beyond mere danger. What do the Russians think when they see that the Democratic Party intends to elect Hillary Clinton president of the US? Hillary is a person so crazed that she declared the president of Russia to be “the new Hitler” and organized through her underling, neocon monster Victoria Nuland, the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Ukraine. Nuland installed Washington’s puppet government in a former Russian province that until about 20 years ago was part of Russia for centuries.
I would bet that this tells even the naive pro-western part of the Russian government and population that the United States intends war with Russia.
Ever since Russia stood up to Obama over Syria, the Russians have been experiencing hostile propaganda and military operations on their borders. These provocations are justified by Washington and its NATO vassals as a response to “Russian aggression.” Russian aggression consists of nothing but obviously false assertions that Russia is about to invade the Baltics, Poland, and Romania and recreate the Soviet Empire, the Eastern European part of which, together with the former Russian provinces of Georgia and Ukraine, now belong to the American Empire.
The Russians know that the propaganda about “Russian aggression” is a lie. What is the purpose of the lie other than to prepare the Western peoples for war with Russia?
There is no other explanation.
Even morons such as Obama, Merkel, Hollande, and Cameron should be capable of understanding that it is extremely dangerous to convince a major military power that you are going to attack. To simultaneously also convince China doubles the danger.
Clearly, the West is incapable of producing leadership capable of preserving life on earth.
What can be done when the entire West demonstrates a death wish for Planet Earth?
Until the criminal regimes of Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama, American presidents from John F. Kennedy forward worked to reduce tensions with the Soviets. Kennedy worked with Khrushchev to reduce tensions caused by US missiles in Turkey and Soviet missiles in Cuba. President Nixon negotiated SALT I (the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty) and the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. President Carter negotiated SALT II, which was never ratified by the US Senate but was observed by the executive branch. President Reagan negotiated with Soviet leader Gorbachev the end of the Cold War. President George H.W. Bush in exchange for Gorbachev’s agreement to the reunification of Germany promised that NATO would not move one inch to the East.
All of these achievements were thrown away by the neoconized Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama regimes, each a criminal regime on par with Nazi Germany.
Today life on Planet Earth is far less secure than during the darkest days of the Cold War. Whatever threat global warming poses, it is miniscule compared to the threat of nuclear winter. If the evil that is concentrated in Washington and its vassals perpetrates nuclear war, cockroaches will inherit the earth.
I have been warning about the growing danger of a nuclear war resulting from the arrogance, hubris, ignorance, and evil personified by Washington. Recently, four knowledgable Russian-Americans spelled out the likely consequences of trying to drive Russia to submission with war threats: http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2016/06/03/41522/
Don’t expect the brainwashed American population to have the moral conscience and fortitude to prevent nuclear war or even the intelligence to prevent their own vaporization. In a recent article in the Wall Street Journal Scott Sagan and Benjamin Valentino report that 59% of the US population support attacking Iran with nuclear weapons in the event that Iran sank one US Navy ship: http://www.wsj.com/articles/would-the-u-s-drop-the-bomb-again-1463682867
Republicans were much more likely than Democrats to approve attacking Iran with nuclear weapons with 81% of Republicans approving nuclear war compared to 47% of Democrats. Yet, the Democrats are behind Hillary who would be the first to use nuclear weapons. After all, a feminized woman has to prove how tough she is, just as Margaret Thatcher was “the Iron Lady.”
Before it it too late for Americans and all of humanity, arrogant Americans need to recall that “those who live by the sword, die by the sword.”
The economic picture is equally dismal and unpromising. The latest payroll jobs report was even more awful than reported. Hardly any new jobs were created, but what largely escaped reporting is the fact that the economy actually lost 59,000 full-time jobs.
Increasingly the US economy consists of part-time jobs that cannot support an independent existence. Thus, more Americans age 19-34 live at home with parents than independently with spouses or partners. Fully half of 25-year old Americans live in their childhood rooms in their parents’ homes.
This is the “New Economy” that the filthy lying neoliberal economists promised would be reward for the American work force giving up their manufacturing and professional skill jobs to foreigners. What a monstrous lie the neoliberal economists told so that corporate executives and shareholders could put into their own pockets the living wage of the American work force. These neoliberal economists, and, alas, libertarian “free market” ones, have not been held accountable for their impoverishment of the American work force deeply buried in debt with no future prospects.
Those few Americans who have any awareness are beginning to realize that the One Percent and the western governments that serve them are re-establishing feudalism. The brilliant and learned economist, Michael Hudson, has labeled our era the era of neo-feudalism.
He is correct. The majority of young Americans come out of university heavily indebted, primed for debtor prison. When half of 25-year olds cannot marry and form households, how can anyone believe that housing sales and prices are rising except as a result of speculative investors banking on rental income from a population that cannot even pay its student loans.
The United States is the sickest place on earth. There is no public or political discussion of any important issue or of the multiple crises that confront America or the crises that America brings to the world.
The American people are so stupid and unaware that they are capable of electing a criminal and a warmonger like Hillary president of the United States and be proud of it.
These “tough” Americans are so frightened of hoax dangers, such as “Muslim terrorists” and “Russian aggression” that they willingly sacrificed their depleted pocketbooks, the Constitution of the United States—an act of treason on the part of the American people who utterly failed their responsibility to protect the Constitution—and their own liberty to a universal police state that has all power over them.
It is extraordinary that once-proud, once-great European peoples look for leadership from a country of moronic non-entities who have pissed away the liberty, security, and prosperity that their Founding Fathers gave to them.
Fellow Americans, if you care to avoid vaporization and, assuming we do avoid it, live a life other than serfdom, you must wake up and realize that your most deadly enemy is Washington, not the hoax of “Russian aggression,” not the hoax of “Muslim terrorism,” not the hoax of “domestic extremism,” not the hoax of welfare bankrupting America, not the hoax of democracy voting away your wealth, which Wall Street and the corporations have already stolen and stuck in their pockets.
If you cannot wake up and escape The Matrix, your doom will bring the doom of the planet.

Auandag @ 0:07…..Sick!!
No, that’s beyond sick……It’s disgusting!! I am totally repulsed by the entire subject. At least now we know what kind of lunatics are running our asylum. What possible moral good could come from such a decision?? We’ve been sold out to a bunch of satanists!!
Auandag, thanks
I enjoy what you post too!! Just trying to expose the facts and the truth. Unfortunately it is sometimes easier to “believe” the lies and deceptions because the truth can be ruthless and hard to swallow.
I no longer consider myself a canadian- I just rent here.

Equisetum @ 20:25…Thanks for the kind words; not spoken often around here. LOL!!!
I agree, Judith is worth spending a little time with. She exudes honesty and sincerity and is only interested in the integrity of the science; not trying to push an agenda for her own personal gain. We need many more like her and James Corbett in this world.
For myself and the flack I sometimes receive, I don’t mind it as much as I do the silence, which to me represents apathy or not wanting to face the fact that these things are happening. The way I figure it is this. If we all lose our health and our lives (and the lives of our future generations) because we sit back and say nothing and do nothing while a depopulation agenda is being carried out through the United Nations NWO Agenda 21 using vaccines, food toxins, GMO’s,weather warfare (geo-engineering), lab created virus and bacteria, and corrupt governments to carry them out, then it won’t matter at all what the Precious Metals do, because we will all be dead and the earth right along with us.
Most would be surprised at how much screening I do before I post something, and if I am still not certain of the content but feel it needs the light of day so others can decide on its merits I post it “FWIW”, For What It’s Worth.
I wonder how many will even bother to read this post and be willing to state their opinion of it, either good or bad?? Or will it just be more silence?? LOL!!! All the best to you Equise from Silverngold.
How can people like this ever get appointed to overseeing US citizens
Trump Judge’s Favorite Politician is a Reconquistador
Apparently, Judge Curiel found radical racialist Xavier Becerra the only national politician deserving of his financial support.
So what? Becerra is an admitted member of MEChA — Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan — better known as the Latino KKK.
Becerra has publicly defended MEChA, even though the supremacist group preaches discrimination against non-Hispanics and has called for the killing of Border Patrol “pigs.” MEChA’s slogan is: “For the race, everything; For those outside the race, nothing.”
“Aztlan” is the racial separatist group’s name for the Southwestern portion of America it seeks to reconquer for Mexico — an agenda known as “reconquista.” You can find reconquistadors among the Mexican-flag-waving belligerents viciously attacking Trump supporters at the presumptive GOP presidential nominee’s rallies in California.
This liberation agenda, outlined in “El Plan de Aztlan,” states: “We do not recognize capricious frontiers on the bronze continent. Brotherhood unites us, and love for our brothers makes us a people whose time has come and who struggles against the foreigner ‘gabacho’ who exploits our riches and destroys our culture. With our heart in our hands and our hands in the soil, we declare the independence of our mestizo nation. We are a bronze people with a bronze culture.”
“Gabacho” is a racist slur against white Americans. It refers to sugar cane stalks that are white in color and chewed by Mexicans and spit out.
silverngold @ 18:13 I notice you occasionally get some criticism for topics that
you have posted on Goldtentoasis. Thanks very much for posting the Corbett conversation with Judith Curry. I hope a few people will check out her site, Climate Etc. That was a very good conversation between Corbett and Curry.

I hope they have the courage to exit as well.

Curiel’s parents are said to have immigrated legally who knows though Cuz Obamas a citizen too. That is no excuse for not being bias. Serial killers, Gang members, protesters burning flags were born here too. It doesn’t exempt you when actions show contrary. You don’t even have to have foreign national ties in office to be bias or corrupt. Hillarys proof enough of that.

Go Brexit! I hope the Brits have the courage to depart….
If so, I’d think that would bode well for Trump. IMHO if Americans haven’t awakened enough to choose Trump we are finished. He gave a great speech today, BTW.

In lieu of Maddog’s absence, I’m pretty sure a clear breach of HUI 235 would have indicated a clean breakout in the shares, and the boyz definitely don’t want that kind of momentum going into a weekend when the SM is weak.
Either that OR gold will get hit Sunday night and the SM will make a remarkable comeback Monday am.
Fed Meeting next weekend screams caution. JMHO

if they are puerto rican, they have u.s. citizenship. if only one is puerto rican, the spouse gets a visa almost automatically, and a short path to citizenship.
