And let us not forget the PLA ramming small fishing vessels of their neighbors who dispute the 9 dash line claim to the South China Sea, the persecution of all religions under the rule of Emperor Xi, the organ harvesting of dissidents, the threat to take Taiwan by force, the imposition of the new “security law” in H.K. and so much more.

The U.S. and China have clearly entered the Cold War stage. It will only take one small incident in the Formosa Straights or South China Sea and everything goes hot.

No big deal, there would only be about 400 million people dead, injured or their livelihood seriously destroyed. This reminds me, for some reason, of the famous quote, “Oh the humanity”. It’s hard to believe that a SNAFU of this magnitude is even conceivable. Yet, the CCP could very well finally accomplish the hellish opposite of their “Peoples Paradise”. Even so the rioting idiots in Seattle would probably still try to impose their disgusting Marxist will on decent people claiming “The Chinese didn’t do it as well as we could”.

Right you are Mr. ONeil, I should not have replied, our entire world is really about the enemy within a man’s heart.

Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020

Only by Fire is Fascism Finished

Year upon year in Earth’s darker forests,
Heaped at the foot of the trees,
Dry drifts of wood rot and leaf fall increase
Which sunlight shall never seize.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

The ash that descends in the September skies
Where the leapers swam down the stones?
Best answered by bombs from mid-heaven at prayer
With that fire which hollows the bones.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

If their god decrees war, God’s war shall prevail.
His lessons are seared in His stone.
No dreams shall defer, nor wishes erase,
The answers that burn in the bone.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

Only by Fire is Fascism Finished.
This Sin is demanded that Your Line may Live.
Only through Fire is Freedom Reborn.
Each generation pulls the Sword from the Stone.

Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
