@ phallica - 21.05.19 - 09:40am I won't bother linking to the article because it's behind a paywall, because of course it is. Bibi has been trying to get America to take out Iran for over a decade, but wants American fodder without wasting Israeli lives. If the U.S goes to war and creates yet another clusterfuck in the middle east, they'll be solidified as Israel's whore. A day after deploying an extra 1500 US soldiers to the region, Trump now uses 'section 36' loophole to bypass congress and push through arms deals with the Saudis. http://thehill.com/policy/defense/445446-trump-uses-loophole-to-push-through-saudi-arms-sale-senators It seems that the plan is for Trump to sell the Saudis a fuckton of weapons to fight Iran with, whilst also helping the Saudis to fast track their own nuclear weapons program by selling them nuclear reactor technology.(also being done on the sly without congressional approval) |

That's why food prices are going up. Farmers are scared operating anymore. Not worth the risk. |

It's safety in numbers, especially in the suburbs of the larger cities and towns, so, many white people, or Indian, prefer to work in the services/retail sector. Rural areas it's another story. Not safe at all. South of JHB, Eikenhof, is a very dangerous place to be. Homeowners are attacked as those on the farms. |

Not safe for tourists here like us locals. Tourists will be even more targeted because of 'valuables' and money on them. Many don't even know how to prevent themselves from being targeted. We have learnt to cope with crime, etc. Never leave the car window open (at all), carry light.. if, in poorer areas, take a cheaper phone with...that sort of thing. |

A month ago, whilst I was walking, I noticed a guy of colour stop here a car near me looking like he was about to ask for directions then noticed him searching under the seat, possibly for a gun. But I ran. Don't give a sh*t what that was all about. You learn these things here. People aren't that friendly at all. They keep to themselves. Neighbours stick to themselves. It's more a matter of survival above all, than living. It sure sucks.

2 years ago, the car upon which I rely on, had its boot ransacked. Wallet stolen, boss's money stollen. This was after I did some banking on the upper floor at the local mall. Security cameras just picked up who did it. Security couldn't do anything. The perpetrator, and his mates, like most perpetrators, walked off scott-free. In December of last year, my mom was mugged in her car of her rings. And this is us keeping safe. Imagine how many more crimes, even more severe, happen to many others. We haven't been burgled for over a decade though. That's after security-proofing our entire perimeter - since the alarm security company helped fock-all! Private security companies are a lucrative business here, numbering well over those of the police force. |

President Trump might have a much harder time in 2020 than he did in 2016. Mayor Pete will tear him to shreds in a debate and he's a million times as charismatic than the President is, if he wasn't gay I'm certain he would win. Joe Biden and Pete Buttigege on the ticket will be his worst nightmare, even Elizabeth Warren could pull more votes then Hillary did.

Dump Biden and just have Buttigieg running.. Wth does him being gay have to do with anything in this day and age? At least he isn't a creepy hair sniffing weirdo.

Catch Lauren Southern's docu about the migrant crisis here. Youtube removed it from her channel, because of course they did. It's interesting, even if Southern is a milquetoast alt-lighter, she's still considered anathema for the bugmen running youtube. |
