"DOOMSDAY CLOCK" REVEALED AS FAKE NEWS

Autistic screeching (cardboard clock version)

by Trad News

There was a time when the people behind the "Doomsday Clock" had a certain credibility, but that was back in Cold War days, when the World was threatened by an entirely amoral and power-mad Communist Superpower bent on World conquest or mutually assured destruction. 

Although even then the Chicago-based Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, which "runs" the big cardboard clock diagram, could be said to be serving as an dupe for the Soviet Union. Their constant reminders to people on the free world side that we were all going to die in a nuclear holocaust greatly bolstered the unilateral disarmament movement in the West, and could have helped give the Commies an easy victory.

SCOTLAND’S REFERENDUM ON ANGLO-GLOBALISM

Scotland punching above its weight.

In history timing is everything. When Scotland was forced by mosquitoes to throw in its lot with England, the timing couldn’t have been better. At the time, the power of the previously great Spanish Empire was depleted; and French power, although a threat for another hundred years or so, had been held in check by the alliance of Europe’s then beta powers (England, Austria, and Holland).

Although Scotland was small in population terms, adding the country and its hardy, adventurous, and canny people to the stolid, dependable English mass created an entity that was big enough and talented enough to get its nose in front. Among other possible alpha nations, Russia, of course, at that time, was too backward, and Germany still had a long road to go to achieve unification.

"HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, PAKISTAN!"

by Dota

I know I’m a little late on this topic but I’d be remiss if I didn’t impart a few thoughts on this oh so auspicious occasion. India’s evil twin just turned 68 and continues to teeter along a fine line between existence and oblivion. Like a brain dead patient on life support, Pakistan doesn’t stand a chance of recovering; yet disconnecting this nuclear powered failed state from its life support system terrifies the world.

Pakistan has skillfully leveraged it’s existence as an elaborate protection racket where failure to comply threatens global destruction, with the possibility of its nuclear arsenal ending up in the wrong hands. Thus the world’s foremost beggar state sustains itself on the charity of other states while contributing virtually nothing to human civilization.
