You have a rare gift for simplifying to the point of absurdity. Leaving aside the fact that I don't think anyone wants to advocate a strictly feudal military dictatorship - do you think the continuous social disturbances, peasant uprisings and attempted coup d'etats of the Edo period would qualify as 'stability' in modern society? Please, explain. I thought about responding but such novel ideals wrapped in trolling. Combined with the futility of actually seeing a response with concrete in the foundation of the answer. Precluded that brief idea. Carry on.

Here’s how to slow illegal immigration from Central America, Trump official says Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly told a group of Latin American leaders Friday that the United States’ insatiable demand for illegal drugs has fueled the violence in Central America that’s driving migrants to the United States. Kelly blamed the United States’ doing “almost nothing” about drug demand and he described the networks that serve that demand as a source of many of the region’s economic and security problems.... Kelly once wrote in a column for the military newspaper Army Times that blamed U.S. demand for the creation of an incredibly efficient criminal network that transports drugs, people, terrorists and potentially weapons of mass destruction. https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article148939604.html

Billy Graham Center Explains Survey on Evangelical Trump Voters https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2018/october/evangelicals-trump-2016-election-billy-graham-center-survey.html The institute listed its initial key findings: 1. Issues matter more than character. 2. The issue of abortion appears to matter more than party. 3. Many evangelicals are reluctant to criticize their leaders when they disagree. 4. Evangelicals value politics more than non-evangelicals. So Leaders will decide the narrative, which will not be questioned or challenged, issues will drive the agenda regardless of character. These political objectives will decide the strength of the group. Definition, cult.

So if and when it is found that the people who sent the bombs are far right wing Trump supporters, you will admit that Trump is evil? Never. Ron wants this thing called SHTF so much he can taste the sweetness. For him it would be a clear validation of prophecy. The icing on the cake, of course, would be watching a bunch of pansey's get their asses kicked. It's just astonishing how many are like him these day's. Who could imagine that nearly two years after Trump was elected he could still rally crowds of morons chanting the same false crap they chanted during the campaign? No one is doing a goddamn thing to these people except living their own lives as they see fit and yet they pray for anarchy as if their kids were being taken away to gay conversion factories and their wives were forced to cook Hillary Clinton's recipes. And now bombs are being sent to innocent people and they, and their nitwit president, think it's just desserts. It's lunacy. But imagine the life lived dreaming, planning, and praying for SHTF. But all of that goes for naught.That a perceived white messiah has arrived and his name is trump. That planning for the arrival of the messenger. Stockpiling food, building secure compounds, assembling bug out bags, bulk packs of .556 ammo, etc.( Sound familiar Marc?) Is all sidetracked because the messiah is instead a fraudster, a false prophet. Sent by god to test believers. To separate the children of god from the pretenders and unworthy. That Ron was tempted by "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion", by Breitbart, etc. That he succored to the temptations that filled his mind with the teachings of other false prophets.

Trolling perhaps. The CIA is but an arm of the state. Generally speaking they act only under the direction of the president.To the benefit of the state. Mohammed bin Salman in the Case of Canadian criticism. The murder of the WP journalist and Saudi citizen. Has proven exactly what he is about. Molded in the thinking of Putin and trump. He seems to believe that any criticism attacks his ego. Punishment all out of proportion is his response. Canada, the US have all responded the same way. Business as usual. Canada knows that the armored vehicle sales agreement. Will supply weapons to be used against the Saudi Shia minority. Used to kill Yemeni civilians. But jobs trump integrity. Just as they did when the CIA meddled in Iranian elections to prop up the monarchy. One that tortured and abused dissidents. Don't forget its the Saudi textbooks, Saudi Mullahs that taught the 9/11 hijackers their twisted religious dogma.That gave rise to Al Qaeda, to IS. ...Oh, then again there is the Qatar boycott. Mohammed bin Salman's personal vendetta against anyone who wants to negotiate or compromise with Iran. Kind of reminds me of how another despot conducts his negotiations, trump.

With President Trump apparently reluctant to punish Saudi Arabia over Khashoggi’s alleged murder after he entered the Saudi embassy in Istanbul, conservative pundits have been straining to provide excuses for U.S. inaction. The trumps, the best puppets Saudi cash can buy.

China September exports surge, creating record surplus with U.S. despite tariffs https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-economy-trade/chinas-september-export-growth-tops-forecasts-surplus-with-u-s-record-high-idUSKCN1MM080 China’s vast export engine unexpectedly kicked into higher gear in September, producing a record trade surplus with the United States that could exacerbate the already-heated dispute between Beijing and Washington. ... September exports rose 14.5 percent from a year earlier, the fastest pace since February, the customs data showed. That was well above August’s 9.8 percent and a Reuters poll forecast of 8.9 percent. “The big picture is the Chinese exports have so far held up well in the face of escalating trade tensions and cooling global growth, most likely thanks to the competitiveness boost provided by a weaker renminbi,” said Julian Evans-Pritchard, senior China economist at Capital Economics. " Just more winning for trump. Why Germany Is Betting on Trade With China https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-10-11/germany-is-thriving-in-china-as-trump-s-trade-war-poses-risk An investment push is bringing the countries closer together in spite of — and because of — rising trade tensions with the U.S. When Sabine Herold opened a new Shanghai facility in September, the milestone for her tiny Bavarian glue maker was the culmination of 14 years of careful development — and a sign of how deep and wide commercial ties between Germany and China have become. Piling into China with Bosch drills, Mercedes-Benz cars and Siemens turbines has made the Asian country Germany’s largest business partner for the past two years. Total trade between the two reached $179 billion in 2017, double the U.K.’s level and triple that of France. Germany’s special status became clear in July, when BASF SE announced a $10 billion plant in Guangdong province — the first large manufacturing site in China entirely owned by a foreign chemicals maker. Now, BMW AG is plowing $4.1 billion into its Chinese joint venture, taking advantage of a new policy to let foreign companies take majority control of their local partnerships. According to trump.

The Big Hack: How China Used a Tiny Chip to Infiltrate U.S. Companies The attack by Chinese spies reached almost 30 U.S. companies, including Amazon and Apple, by compromising America’s technology supply chain, according to extensive interviews with government and corporate sources. During the ensuing top-secret probe, which remains open more than three years later, investigators determined that the chips allowed the attackers to create a stealth doorway into any network that included the altered machines. Multiple people familiar with the matter say investigators found that the chips had been inserted at factories run by manufacturing subcontractors in China. This attack was something graver than the software-based incidents the world has grown accustomed to seeing. Hardware hacks are more difficult to pull off and potentially more devastating, promising the kind of long-term, stealth access that spy agencies are willing to invest millions of dollars and many years to get. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-10-04/the-big-hack-how-china-used-a-tiny-chip-to-infiltrate-america-s-top-companies Lenovo and ZTE shares hit by spyware row https://www.bbc.com/news/business-45756685

As he proudly unveiled his new trade deal with Canada this week, President Donald Trump heralded it as a “great victory” "in the milk and cheese heartland of Wisconsin... “It’s probably not going to have any impact at all as far as saving farms,” said Darin Von Rudin, a third-generation dairy producer and head of the Wisconsin Farmers Union. “... Compared to overall production in the U.S., the increased access to Canadian customers is “tiny,” not even enough to meet annual growth in American production, he said. As for the low milk prices U.S. farmers are facing, announcement of a tentative trade agreement had no effect on the market, said Mike North, president of the Wisconsin Dairy Business Association. “The price of milk, the price of product, there has been no movement on this news,” he said. “The net impact has been zero.”... What dairy farmers were offered in the deal is “mainly symbolic,” and represents only a small reduction in Canadian protectionism, Economist Ethan Harris of Bank of America Merrill Lynch said in a note to clients, CNBC reported. https://lfpress.com/news/economy/trump-called-it-a-great-victory-but-u-s-dairy-farmers-doubtful-the-deal-with-canada-will-solve-their-troubles/wcm/862512e1-1005-426f-bd71-6dee08e0dfcb

I thought of that, But don't forget, the donald was trying to weasel his way into the entire inheritance by amending Fred's will two years prior to his death. In addition that dosn't take into account transfers of assets as outlined in the NYT story. Its all good to trump supporters. Lying, cheating charities, cheating the government, cheating on wives with dozens of other women. Heck its likely to increase his polling numbers! It like when a prison inmate assaults a couple guards. In the minds of other inmates he becomes a hero. What say you Ron, Marc?
