This is an interesting video. Now Larry will say the guy is simply psychotic but I know his real motivation for the fear porn is the fact that he has a multi-million emergency food supply company. Personally, I think these companies should all be disbanded because it's a lot cheaper and more reliable just to buy a decent supply of that can be stored for long periods of times like canned meats / seafood, dried grains, canned fruits and vegetables, etc. So obviously getting people's fear response up makes for good sales of his products.

While I think most of his conclusions are patently absurd, like China invading us if Trump wins, let me say I've taken three years of Chinese language classes with instructors who are native Chinese and I believe I've learned enough about the culture to know this is extremely unlikely, and from a military standpoint it is also unlikely, the reason being that the Chinese lack the navy and/or air force necessary to move a large number of troops quickly. They can fight a hell of a ground war within the range of where they can transport troops across land, but outside of that not so much. Further the general notion that a large EMP event would take out the US electrical grid for several years is just bullshit. A couple of decades ago when high voltage transmission lines were not fused, it would have been possible, because a large electromagnetic pulse would induce enough current in transformers to burn out windings and large transformers take a long time to manufacture, particularly when your manufacturing facilities are down, so a couple of years may have been reasonable, but today many long distance interties are DC and these are by their nature immune to EMP, and the AC lines are all fused, so what happens is they blow a bunch of fuses and it takes a few days to replace them, not a few years. Ok, so for these reasons I don't think a military attack would succeed. But beyond that, the culture of the Chinese people is one of thinking on the largest scale on down, the good of the entire planet more important than the good of China which in turn is more important than the good of a province which in turn is more important than the good of a city, which in turn is more important than the individual, that aspect, the other is they tend to be a rather pragmatic people and such an attack would not be good for anyone, and lastly they are a patient people, they will simply wait out four years for a better opportunity.

And I think he knows this but he wants to sell emergency supplies, he's built a multi-million business selling this fear porn.

So that said, while I disagree entirely with most of his conclusions, many of his data points are accurate and interesting but I think any sane person will draw their own conclusions.

This would be my take. I don't agree fully with either side of the isle, though recently I find the Republicans closer than the Libtards. But neither pays any respect to the constitution, neither does our Supreme Court else they would have fucking heard the election fraud cases brought before them.

@mork It can, the trick is to have money supply match productivity increases, right now that's not happening because Covid-19 is being used by left wing morons to kill productivity.
They want to collapse the economic system so they can turn it into a complete communist system in which we own nothing.

@BR 549 ☎ My cousin's cat lived 26 years so not a huge stretch.

The oldest cat in history was a feline called Creme Puff who was born on 3 August 1967 and lived until 6 August 2005 - an amazing 38 years and 3 days. Creme Puff lived with her owner, Jake Perry, in Austin, Texas, USA. But the crown is now in Bournemouth with Poppy.

So they want to completely destroy our Republic so we can mollify the Dems and they won't riot? How ridiculous can they be? I thought the Supreme Court was supposed to uphold the Constitution and our laws. So now they are willing to completely throw out our rights to vote? What kind of a country do we have then? What freedoms?
