Maui fires, arson?

@Diotrephes Let's not quarterback this thing. It has to happen the way it happened. I am more concerned about the guys pushing for nuclear war over Ukraine. Nobody cares, right? And when our flesh gets evaporated, then everybody starts quarterbacking that shit. It's so annoying.

@SandWitch The nukes dropped on Japan saved countless lives. The US was prepared to firebomb all of Japan if they didn't surrender. Remember, one of America's favorite hobbies during WWII was burning people alive.

@sree251 So, why investigate any crime at all?

@SandWitch I am not talking about human flesh getting evaporated in Ukraine on account of the war NATO is stoking over there. I am talking about our flesh getting evaporated here in the USA. They already warned us not to think that we can watch the faraway Ukraine war on TV. We Americans and all the people in the the US, UK, Germany and France (main antagonists) are going to be first line targets in the western conspiracy to degrade Russia (or China) in proxy wars.

@SandWitch Yup, even though I am anti-war. Think of those Japanese incinerated in Hiroshima. They were not part of the war. Like them, I am just cattle in the herd. We all are.

@sree251 In a war, everyone in the belligerent countries are in the war. The fastest way to end a war is to quickly slaughter as many enemy civilians as possible. That removes the support from the enemy troops, which makes it easier to defeat them.

@Diotrephes Well, if what you believe is true, then the doctrine of war dictates WW3. Nobody seems afraid because they are cattle. You who know the score are also not afraid. It's karma then.

@sree251 Humans are basically predatory pack animals and, as such, will attack other packs to establish their dominance. That is why when the leader of the pack tells you to attack the other pack, you will do so although you have nothing personally against any member of the other pack. That is called war.

@Diotrephes I am anti-war. I have no leader. I just have no way to stop the US government from killing people. It's the way humans all over the world are trapped in social systems.

If you are an American, your leader is the President of the United States of America. It changes every few years. His decisions can decide if you live or die or how well you will live. You should take it seriously.

@Diotrephes The US President has no power. Congress has no power either. America is like a river of humanity flowing to the sea.

@sree251 Congress has more power that the other two branches but it doesn't have a single leader for both houses. Remember, Congress can remove everyone from their offices in the courts and in the executive branches. And Congress controls the money.

@Diotrephes What control? The only thing that matters is control of money coming from taxes. And all that money is hardly enough to meet mandatory spending: social security payouts and healthcare. Last year (2022), Mandatory spending was 83.7% of taxes collected from the American people.

This left only 16.3% or $0.8 trillion went to the US Military that Congress need for controlling the world. Congress had no more real money to control. To get more money, those crooks we elected to Congress sold debt (Treasuries) by printing money using our American souls as collateral. Do you believe in souls? Atheists are now running secular America which they have separated from the church. Atheists don't believe in souls. And they know no one living in the material world does. This is why Congress wants to flex American warfighting might in Ukraine against Russia, and threaten China over Taiwan. It's all about the greenback fronting US debt. It's not about the people anymore.

@sree251 Taiwan was never part of China. And it's way past time to eliminate Russia once and for all.

If you don't believe in debt, why do you have any?

@Diotrephes I have no debt. Absolutely none. I am liquid. All cash. Despite inquiries from my bank advising me to upgrade my account to private banking, I said no. I want neither investments nor interests for my cash. No income means I don't have to pay taxes. Not a cent from me get used by either the federal or state government. I pay property taxes.

@sree251 So, please stay off of the streets and highways and the military doesn't have to defend you from a foreign enemy.

@Diotrephes What foreign enemy? The only enemy that American expats have is the US State Department and it's asinine foreign policy. The upset it caused in Hong Kong destroyed American small businesses and wiped out their life savings. It's the same deal in Russia. US corporations could pull out and absorb losses that are compensated by Congress, but not the little guys. They are left to hang out and dry.

@sree251 That's what happens when you collaborate with the enemy.

@Diotrephes What enemy? Every American brand (Milwaukee, DeWalt, Black & Decker,etc) at Home Depot is made in China. It's the same deal at other big box stores. China is part of our supply chain.
