I write the questions for Jeopardy.
With new information presented on a daily basis at times and new opinions are created. The world we experience is changing at a rapid rate while human tendencies and behaviors are mostly the same. Most of us are wired to be freedom seeking individuals. A certain subset of people think they should be running the world... and it appears they are... and it appears they don't want us to know everything they are strategizing to implement at some point in the near future.This sums up most of the threads in the political section of this site....
The passage of information is incredibly rapid today whereas governments of the past had only grainy radio broadcasts for people who actually had radios and newspapers which were spotty at best....With new information presented on a daily basis at times and new opinions are created.

In South Africa, there is a piece of land, about half the size of the Netherlands, contained within boundaries, which is pretty much exactly the same as it was thousands of years ago. Same animals, same vegetation, same rivers and swamps. It has been protected against how humans changes the environment to suit their needs.The passage of information is incredibly rapid today whereas governments of the past had only grainy radio broadcasts for people who actually had radios and newspapers which were spotty at best....
So it is pretty difficult for modern governments to hide anything unless they are like North Korea and implement a total media blackout....
I think this would be very hard to do in western countries...
Crazily enough, many countries outside western countries are pretty much the same as they were years ago as their value system has not changed....it is the future of the west which will be in jeopardy of losing identities, traditions and values of our nations.....
Engineered to happen, cultural marxism is being introduced to our universities in the west at an alarming rate, and the young people are being brain washed, just like Chairman Mao did to his young people.Crazily enough, many countries outside western countries are pretty much the same as they were years ago as their value system has not changed....it is the future of the west which will be in jeopardy of losing identities, traditions and values of our nations.....
Do you get this to the same extent in New Zealand?Engineered to happen, cultural marxism is being introduced to our universities in the west at an alarming rate, and the young people are being brain washed, just like Chairman Mao did to his young people.
But he exterminated the older generation to be absolutely certain there was no chance of his plan failing.
This 21st century culture war is a 'death by a thousand cuts' extermination of the older generation's culture and Christian belief system
The majority of people appear to prefer to ignore that which is right in front of them, out of fear and not understanding who they are, but that is about to change everything..
Just keep your head in the sand and everything will go away. . . really?
But Bill, no offense intended, you were a tooth in a cog of a huge war machine, and you survived and came out the other end, so your view on these things will always be a little 'different' than people that never served.
I get that.
But I also can see the warning signs of what is ahead.
Rugby . . .pfffft.Do you get this to the same extent in New Zealand?
The Kiwis who I worked with in the Pacific, were a tough bunch. They pretty much had minds of their own.
Sorry you lost the rugby match, tough hard game. It was real close.
As it is with most people that are not afflicted with some issue beyond their control life is simple. We all want to be loved and respected. We want our freedom to think and do as we please in our short time here in the space of a mortal lifetime.In South Africa, there is a piece of land, about half the size of the Netherlands, contained within boundaries, which is pretty much exactly the same as it was thousands of years ago. Same animals, same vegetation, same rivers and swamps. It has been protected against how humans changes the environment to suit their needs.
That is where I go for a week or so, when the modern world gets too much for me. In a week, can only experience a tiny fraction of it.
As to your views about the future of the West? I believe modern humans, at the forefront of technology, have the ability to change the world towards a level one civilization, where the planet is harnessed and protected. Population growth of modern man is however declining, while the better lifestyle modern man has created, is being infiltrated by people with less civilized values and positive population growth. So who knows where this is going to end?
Before modern man changed the world, life was about marking your territory, defending it with your life and the herd is ruled by the strongest one. If he gets challenged, he will defend it with his life, and if the challenger wins, he will be the new leader. Like a pride of lions.
In the end one wonders if world democracy, or autocracy wins?
If people have total freedom to do what they wish, will the human race and the planet survive?
Or does the world need a Putin, or a Xi Jinping, ( nature, leader of the pride of lions) who controls the human race with an iron fist, and a master plan followed with strict rules, which saves the planet.
To Zerks, life is a whole lot simpler than you may think. We get smart people and we get stupid people. Those in between follow either the one or the other. Those conspiracies you love, are written by story tellers who like attention, at the of the day, there are too many smart people who would not allow any of those conspiracies to resemble any degree of truth.
The Democrats use to be smart, but lordy knows where that went wrong.
It’s really simple, trust me.As it is with most people that are not afflicted with some issue beyond their control life is simple. We all want to be loved and respected. We want our freedom to think and do as we please in our short time here in the space of a mortal lifetime.
The smart people... aka... the Nerds... will provide the high tech accessories and manufacturing that only they can engineer from the ground up, or, from on top of the shoulders of those that came to invent before them.
The other group of noteriety is... The Ruling Class... about 1 in a big number of every earth bound person wants to run the world and the people inhabiting it. That group has a lot of politicians and corporate heads that do have a say in what happens around the world. It appears to me WEF exist and meets for the expressed purpose of running the world in the way that suits them best with the resources they have available to them.
Since the world is struggling financially in many areas, especially in the USA then only one solution exist. It is the same solution that has moved the can down the road many times in the past .
That solution is to create some more wars... and... that is exactly what we are seeing now.
SSDD... See how simple it is now? perhaps not... however... You could call it the real life version of "The Game of Thrones"
Me thinks the real Ruling Class is some people whose names we will never know and faces we will never see.It’s really simple, trust me.
Your “ruling class” is made up of the Obama’s, Clinton’s, Shumer, Schiff, Pelosi and a few others, including George Soros. It’s about money, influence and power.
This is why they hate Trump and Musk, as both are not party to the establishment.
You're partisan to the end. Elon Musk is hard to like but easy to respect. His accomplishments speak for themselves. Trump on the other hand is devoid of any humility, respectfulness or loyalty. He lies when he's knowledgeable enough and speaks gibberish when he's not. That's why people hate Trump.This is why they hate Trump and Musk, as both are not party to the establishment.
All I care about is the ability of a President to select the best 15 executives available into his cabinet, get them on the same page, agree mission, objectives and lead them towards delivering for our nation.You're partisan to the end.

Accomplishments? As a marketing swindler? All he does is tap into people's techno dreams and then makes himself rich off of their loyalty. Electric cars, how's that company doing these days? He's left that behind because he knew it was a dead end. Space-X? That's just tapping into the NASA budget for the most part and all he's doing otherwise is cluttering near Earth space with thousands of little satellites that people use for fast gaming and fast porn downloads lol.Elon Musk is hard to like but easy to respect. His accomplishments speak for themselves.
