Ritter’s Rant 085: The Blockade by Scott Ritter

President Trump has declared a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. But there is no blockade, just bluster and posturing from a man who lost control of the conflict with Iran the minute it started.

    Nick: “We were in the war in the Southeast
    Pacific” (that would be Chile, not Vietnam,
    he meant Southeast Asia). Von Braun is pro-
    nounced fonn brown (not won brawn). Wise
    -man (mother’s name was Sweitzer) no Jew,
    but the Jews try to claim him for themselves.

    It’s amazing how easily simple-minded
    people can be fooled by a few simple
    tricks. The masses are and always will
    be stupid; even Herr Hitler knew that.

    “Love” is indeed the “most important mystery”
    —at least for all those who let their biochemis-
    try dictate their thinking, emotions and beha-
    vior through the release of “cuddle hormones.”

    “Love is all you need,” the Beatles already sang.
    A rather silly statement. For those who “need lo-
    ve” are in need (“needy”) as a child, and thus de-
    pendent on the approval of those around them.

    Katie Perry also confirms, when it comes to
    “love”, you’re powerless—there’s absolutely
    nuttin’ you can do about it anyway! So clear.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXZ7ml_H4x4

    So just let it happen, surrender to it without “resistance”!
    Fall in love (falling: the opposite of standing up). You are
    now (black) husband and (white) wife—that is God’s will!
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_2q1rclwNE

    Switch off your brain, old cynic, let your heart
    speak! Life is a pony farm, a flower meadow.
    You have blue jeans in your soul, and now, after
    your “male menopause & midlife crisis,” you’re
    experiencing the second, final, spring of your life.

    Love is as innocent as a child. Like Baby Je-
    sus himself. Even homosexual half-Greek
    George Michael knew it when he crafted
    his AIDS-related hymn “Jesus to a Child.”

    However, we are called upon here to love the
    Jew “God” Yahweh (and nothing and no one
    else). In this context, the addition “Love thy
    neighbor as thyself” is superfluous. First of all,
    self-love is forbidden, and second, “neighbor”
    means one’s nearest, not one’s most distant.

    Modern-day “global superstar” Katy was launched
    into orbit a year ago aboard Jeff Bezos’ penis-shaped
    rocket, along with a “very diverse” all-female crew.

    Lay your trust in the hands of women! They are
    peace-loving and make the world a better place.

      “I love to be loved. I love to be in love.
      I love to hate you. I hate to love you.”

      One thing is certain: “Love” is ultimately
      like all other great mysteries—you have
      to believe in its truth. Otherwise, all the
      atrocities committed in its name by peop-
      le who claim to love would be unthinkable.

      Furthermore, it usually remains a mystery to
      everyone (except the couple “in love”) why
      and for what purpose they “love” each other.

      They must have a peculiar conception of
      love, a sense that allows them to percei-
      ve something that remains hidden from
      everyone else (that is, 9 billion people).

      It is no different with other narratives: the Bible,
      the moon landing, man-made global warming,
      the Holocaust religion, diversity & equality, etc.

      Perhaps, however, Faust came to realize: “Love
      is the devil! It makes you dependent, just like a
      drug. Better to be addicted to heroin than to a
      woman, because heroin never lets you down!”

      Many people prefer to keep a pet for good
      reason: a pet loves them honestly & faithful-
      ly. And even the most lice-ridden stray bit-
      ches aren’t as disloyal as “human” women.

        If God is not truth but love, why do
        we constantly test everything that
        affects us by asking, “Is this true?”
        rather than, “Is this full of love?”

          A short satirical treatise on human stupidity.
          https://pdfhost.io/v/BrQrNJ2qvW_Stupidity
          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_M._Cipolla

          Somewhat reminiscent of the classification of officers that
          General v. Hammerstein-Equord carried out back in 1933:

          “I distinguish four types. There are clever, hardworking, stupid, and lazy officers. Usually two characteristics are combined. Some are clever and hardworking; their place is the General Staff. The next ones are stupid and lazy; they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties. Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the mental clarity and strength of nerve necessary for difficult decisions. One must beware of anyone who is both stupid and hardworking; he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always only cause damage.”

    love me, love me, love me….I’m a liberal. Phil Ochs song back in the 60s.
    Time to rehabilitate hatred but before that folks need to get it that they have enemies. Lunatics like Trumpstein say to hate and vaporize the Persians. Lots of work to do here.
