Nov 15 2013 - "Concealed within his fortress, the lord of Mordor sees all. His gaze pierces cloud, shadow, earth, and flesh." — "Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring"
Like the eye of Sauron, the NSA’s new facility in Utah overlooks hundreds of thousands of people in the valley below. Perched on a mountainside fortress of concrete and barricades, the 1-million-square-foot complex exists solely to allow the NSA to "see all."
In the wake of the Snowden leaks and widespread concern with the pervasive surveillance activities of the federal government, many Americans have been wondering how to fight back. Can an effective opposition even be mounted against the power of the NSA? What can be done to restore privacy and protect our rights?
Unlike the Hobbit there are no magic rings. I have come to believe in my heart of hearts the only fix is utter collapse of the system. Something most of us will not live though....

It's only a fix as long as the same functional psychopaths don't rise to the top again. If they're allowed to escape into their bunkers, they will again end up at the helm of civilization, and history will perpetually repeat itself.

Without america the world would have succumbed to nazism and believe me it would not be a nice or kind world but one based on strength and eugenics with no pity for the weak, in other words the very antithesis of chivalric value were the duty of the strong it to defend the weak.

America has a disease and that disease is called corporate intrusion into public and government affairs but it is not the only nation to be so diseased, indeed most of the world today has that disease which if left unchecked will ( and I vouch for this ) prove terminal to our civilisation and maybe even our species.
America at it's heart is a nation with many good christian and moraly upright people, it has it's problems but I would still rather live there than many nations in this world and as for the dead coming home to both america and the UK you can blame the corporate interests for that and remember that when they use america up they will merely relocate to china or where ever it is most economically convenient, The NWO does exist but politicians are merely puppets and there power base is in the banking sector and the corporations.
These wars should never have happened but believe me there were and are interests in the middle east and the islamic world whom would destroy you, me and the whole west and celibrate about it even though we have done them no harm, have you ever heard of prince bander and his rumored harem of blond white children and the US state department turning a blind eye to his activitys and abductions because he is a powerful ally in the middle east, it is not the nation but the interests that control it that are often the problem and there were moral grounds to take military action but they were very selective about there target, for instance Afghanistan was about a pipeline to carry oil from azerbaijan through helmand to western china so that the CORPORATE interests could fill there grubby back pockets with it and we all know that Iraq was about oil as was the more recent Libya (the difference being that british interests were put out when american corporations - Dubbya took all the lucrative deals in iraq and so along with the french they divided Libyas assets amongst there corporations and took them keeping Americas nose out (directly any way) but making a reluctant america offer half hearted military aid.

Stalin would have been a complete lunatic if he had tried to invade Britain. He would not only have been taking on Britain, but also her Commonwealth.

The Soviets could have defeated Germany with out the Allies, it would of taken longer to win, but it could of happen.
After the US went to the African front instead of opening a European front (all to secure British "Colonial power" ) cost the Soviets a bit, could have gone differently and left Stalin with a bit of anger once he theoretically conquered Germany.
Remember the Premise is no US intervention as the post suggested that US won the war. SO IF no US, no AID for Britain. Which would mean more Germany pounding while everyone waited for Russia to finish off Nazi.
People forget by 1943 Russia had rebuilt its industry after the first invasion, 2000 factories put out more tanks than Germany could produce, Superior tanks at that, the entire country united to defeat Nazi's.
Russia fought more Nazi divisions than the entire Allied army combined and where responsible for more Nazi deaths (and their own losses) than any other nation.
It really is sad that here in the US at-least we so diminish the Russian sacrifice during the war, quick to point out Stalin allied with Hitler, but even that was after asking for an alliance against the Nazi and being turned down by the US and Britain.

That's a huge assumption to make.
What do you base that comment on?

Oh dear
Britain and her commonwealth forces defeated Rommel in North Africa before the Americans arrived.
Had you also forgotten that Germany was only fighting in Europe and North Africa, unlike Britain who was also fighting not only in Europe and North Africa, but also The Far East against Japan. Hitlers war was more or less in his own back yard.

My point was the move was passive aggressive, Going to Africa when they where not needed shows how little Russia needed them anyway.
Thats my point there, that Instead of actually helping the Russians out, the US really just dithered about while Stalin was watching his people die.
On avg Stalin red army fought upwards of 200 German divisions on avg VS the Allies avg of of 10 at a time.
In a single battle (Stalingrad) the Russians lost more Troops than the Allies did in all the war, My entire point being this "Myth" that the US won the War is rather silly from a real honest look at tactical numbers.

You do know that Britain and her allies supplied Russia with tanks, aircraft and other military equipment during WW II ?
