style="text-align: center;"&gt;By Max Coutinho&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the past 6 months or more, I have been following reports that there are shortages of crucial medicine in Portugal. This week, the Daily Mail &lt;a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-7438875/Why-Brexit-isnt-reason-NHS-drug-shortages.html" target="_blank"&gt;published &lt;/a&gt;a report that the same is happening in the UK. The same newspaper says the reason behind it is the fact that suppliers are fictitiously creating a shortage to increase the prices. We are talking about extortion here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Question&lt;/b&gt;: could they be doing the same with food? In 2014, there was a EU course offered by a famous French School of Business where the lecturer informed that, when convenient, the EU would promote the increase of prices in X or Y food products to control their consumption (either to prevent diabetes or cholesterol etc). Last year, we received the intel that certain Middle Eastern groups, supported by ruling elites, are keeping food in containers by the shores of African countries to create fictitious food shortages to also increase prices (only in Africa such games are catastrophic to the local populations). There are no coincidences.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;The Moral Bankruptcy of Pseudo-Elites&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Governments have the duty to look after their shareholders (the taxpayer) and yet they are neglecting the People: they are allowing companies to withhold medicine and food; they allow Banks and Insurance Companies to steal from them and destroy their dignity. If the Government is not there to protect Citizens, then it has lost its purpose – we need an alternative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are so many Groups of &lt;i&gt;influence&lt;/i&gt;, these days, meeting to talk about this and that (they talk endlessly without reaching any tangible solution to problems) and yet our societies are worse than 100 years ago. On the side-lines of those meetings these Groups (composed by politicians, silly monarchs, businessmen, celebrities and so-called artists and intellectuals) agree to extort and off the common citizen – this is the only plausible explanation to what is going on here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bilderberg Meetings, Google Summer Camps, Skull and Bones Society, the Freemasons, the Order of the Knights of Malta, the Knights Templar et al: they are all an overlapping problem bringing chaos to society. But how can they be dealt with when members of Parliament and of Governments sell their soul to Satan to join these groups as if they actually did or meant something important?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;Vanity of vanities, said Kohelet; vanity of vanities, all is vanity – Ecclesiastes 1:2&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s all for the show…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Daily Mail’s report makes sense but what if we are before something even more sinister than sheer greed? What if we are truly talking about a set of policies concocted to reach a specific goal?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;What if medicine is being withheld with &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;the purpose of carrying out a quiet population control&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;? Even Bernie Sanders &lt;a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-49601678" target="_blank"&gt;hinted &lt;/a&gt;at it (masked as concern for Climate Change).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Look at the types of medicine lacking in the market: drugs to treat or control the symptoms of Alzheimer's, Parkinson, Diabetes, Hyperactivity, ADD and other terrible ailments – are certain folks trying to get rid of these individuals (whom in their eyes exert pressure on the National Health System)?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If we add this reality with the fact that laws are being passed worldwide to endorse euthanasia and abortion, we can’t help but to wonder if this isn’t truly about certain folks trying to play G-d when seeking to control the number of certain people on earth.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The price of food is increasing by the hour right before our eyes. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Is the plan to starve the poorer to get rid of them too&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Some will say that the purpose is to keep the people poor so that the Left will keep extorting the rich to pretend they will give it to the poor, but newsflash: the poor will die before they collect the check (because without access to affordable food and without medicine, who do you think will be the first ones to go?)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;What will happen when hormones for the transgender will be withheld by suppliers? Expect civil wars with more or less 0.5% of the world population.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are no coincidences. Society is regressing and National Socialism is back. Soon, our societies will either build specific cities for the disabled, for the Down Syndrome individuals, for the mentally challenged and all the “genetically imperfect humans” or they will gradually off them through selective medical methods. Hitler [&lt;i&gt;Yimach Shemo&lt;/i&gt;] is back and his acolytes (the socialists) aren’t even hiding it anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So many Foundations and Think Tanks; so many Summits and Conferences…so much talk, talk, talk…and for what? Under the appearance of progress, there is further decay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;(Image: Food and Medicine[Ed] via Google Images)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;[The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dissecting Society™ . © 2007-2019 Author(s) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

But once again history is repeating in Africa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There have been allegations that after the 2016 Presidential Elections, in the Republic of Congo (Brazzaville), the incumbent President Soussou-Nguesso reportedly hired a Russian Private Military Company to put down the unrest in the vital town of Pointe Noir caused by the controversial polls. There was virtually no coverage of the influence in this election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;It should be noted that when President Soussou-Nguesso was President for the first time, Brazzaville was considered an ally of what was then the Soviet Union.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, when it comes to Russian Operations in Central Africa, even though it is not considered being part of Central Africa, the role of Sudan cannot be ignored. Khartoum has been used as a transit and logistics hub for its Operations in CAR. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The recent Change of leadership in Sudan will have an impact on Russian Operations in Central Africa.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Russia was one of the countries coaching the Military in how to react during the final days of the Bashir regime. It would be wonderful if this dynamic was looked into.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;For the near future it should be taken as a fait accompli that whatever projects are launched in the region by the Kremlin it will have some form of presence in Sudan.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another aspect that has been proven interesting regarding &lt;a href="https://dissectingsociety.blogspot.com/2018/12/update-on-russian-private-military.html" target="_blank"&gt;Russian Activities&lt;/a&gt; in the region is their media coverage of the Putin Government's (and allies') efforts to manipulate that same coverage. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;One needs to recall the incident where four journalists for a Russian Opposition news site were ambushed and killed in the Central African Republic&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. That only occurs when a party wants an activity to be shielded from public view and scrutiny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another action taken by the Russians, to spin events into their worldview, is&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;the deals to provide content to some African Media Outlets by either Sputnik or RT (Russia Today)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. A perfect example are the deals reached with RTNC (National Radio and Television Corporation) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. RT was the first entity to reach a deal with the Congolese in November 2018; and Sputnik later on reached a similar deal in May of 2019. This effort in the DRC has been a success for Moscow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;When Russia celebrated the fifth anniversary of the annexation of the Crimea , one of the largest events was actually held in Kinshasa.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another tactic used by Russia: the ties between the Duma and local legislatures on the ground. Once again, the topic focuses on the Democratic Republic of the Congo. There is already a Russia-DRC Friendship Group in the DRC Parliament. This is a simple and easy way for Russia to promote its agenda in Africa, and it can be done in such a way that most other powers (having interests in the region) such as the former colonial powers of France and Belgium - and even the United States - could find themselves left on the outside without realizing what they allowed the whole thing to Happen.

At any time the situation may escalate – as expected. Many will find cute explanations to justify the move (they will even find a way to point the finger at President Trump, as usual) but, knowing what we know; we rather ask good questions and set the plan for the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"&gt;List of Questions&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The UN is sitting between Lebanon and Israel to serve as a tampon and avoid conflicts. Under the UN surveillance, Hezbollah managed to build tunnels that went all the way into the Israeli territory. &lt;b&gt;What on earth is the UN doing there exactly?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Last week, the UN &lt;a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/un-extends-lebanon-border-peacekeeping-mission-urges-full-access-to-blue-line/" target="_blank"&gt;extended &lt;/a&gt;for another year its Peacekeeping Mission in Lebanon (making some demands like full access to the Blue Line). Tensions escalated during the weekend. If UNIFIL has no power to exercise its mandate: &lt;b&gt;what is the relevance of the UN Peacekeeping Missions (that do not keep peace at all)?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hezbollah and the Lebanese government have proven that international bodies do not trump sovereignty. Having said this, &lt;b&gt;when is the UN going to admit its redundancy?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Hezbollah (which is the same as saying Iran) wants to finish what it started in the 2006 War: to wipe Israel off the map so that Hamas and Fatah can take over Eretz Yisrael. &lt;b&gt;What incentive does Israel have to restrain itself?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A couple of years ago, an Anonymous open letter was published in the Israeli press with an interesting proposal: the Jewish State would help the Lebanese Christians to get rid of Hezbollah and restore Lebanon to its past glory (as a Christian state) and Israel could keep the South of Lebanon, which is part of the Promised Land (Tribes of Asher and Naftali). &lt;b&gt;Shouldn’t the West support a Christian State in the Middle East?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The French finger is all over the resolution to extend the powerless UNIFIL’s mandate in Lebanon. France is well aware of the reality on the ground: so, &lt;b&gt;is the French ambition in Lebanon really to prevent conflict or to look good while is launders Hezbollah Money in Paris?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Plan for the Future&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hezbollah wants to play games. Iran wants to play games. Their allies in the region want to play games. Even Jordan wants to play games. Slowly, we are watching a repeat of events: part of the Middle East is congregating against the Jewish State.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus far, Israel has been dilly-dallying, making huge efforts to keep the status quo, trying to please America all the time, trying to appease the international community, pretending to be part of the herd; however, such efforts are abhorrent to the King. The Big War is inevitable, it will come whether the IDF likes it or not; and there won’t be a way to avoid it this time. Israel will be attacked from all fronts and all the plans drawn by the Jewish State must point towards an unequivocal victory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If President Trump has taught anything to the world is that tough talk is important in diplomacy and trade. If your enemies perceive weakness in you, then they will eat you alive; and so far, the only thing that has prevented Israel from being eaten alive is the King Himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;What are the plans for the future?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PM Netanyahu seems to begin having his mind in the right place: he announced he’ll apply sovereignty over Jewish communities in Samaria and Judea. Some elements in Israel are already &lt;a href="http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/268208" target="_blank"&gt;suspicious &lt;/a&gt;of the announcement because it implies some areas in the region will be granted to the Arabs; however, we can assure our brothers and sisters that this will not happen. Israel will apply sovereignty over all of Eretz Yisrael. It may only happen after the 7 year War though, but it will happen eventually, ב"ה.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The South of Lebanon question will be solved. Nasrallah said it all: this time the conflict will be determinant and there will only be one outcome. Justice will be done for the Lebanese Christians (who were forced to leave their country).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hamas will be kicked out of Gaza. Gaza shall return to Jewish hands – also maybe after the 7 year War.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jordan will return Jewish Land and we will no longer be barred from Mount Hor. Jews have the right to visit Aaron’s tomb. There is a piece of information that is vital to the survival of the Hashemite Family; therefore, the Royal Family will have a couple of choices to make: either Jordan will become a Monarchic Palestinian State (as King Hussein said it was) or it will become an Arab Republic. Do not test the King.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel will become more distinctively Jewish and less westerner. This is an imperative to its survival, otherwise, the Jewish People risk causing their own demise – not by the hand of our enemies, but by the Hand of the Creator. Therefore, PM Netanyahu bears a great responsibility on his shoulders: what he does from now on will determine the fate of his brethren and his own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusion&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hezbollah, Hamas and others are interesting opponents. Hezbollah, as a group, is even more admirable than any other Jihadist group due to its organisation, its network and its reach – one can dare say they are a respectable opponent, which adds more excitement to the fight – however, they are about to know the real power of Israel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Nation of Israel is a complex society. Everybody believes they have a voice, everybody believes they have clout, everybody believes they outsmart everybody etc etc…yet the Nation of Israel lost Spark and Vision – and because of it, the Nation lost respect. If Israel is to restore its past glory it must return to the King. During the Month of Elul the Believers do Teshuvah and rededicate themselves to G-d: the State of Israel as whole must do the same – we should start by purging the Knesset of the heretic parasites who are against religious and traditional people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make Israel Great Again. #MIGA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;(Image: IDF Soldiers[Ed] - Times of Israel via Google Images)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;[The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dissecting Society™ . © 2007-2019 Author(s) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

This phenomenon appears to be currently playing out on the Southern Border of the United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this time, one of the major hot button issues and politically the most divisive is the border with Mexico. There are some that would like to see open access along the border but for different reasons. One would like to have reasonably cheap labor while the other side is supportive of this for a callous reason of an expectation of new voters to change the demographics to return to power in Washington.&amp;nbsp; But there is another interesting twist to this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When most Americans hear the reports that there is a new camp of people seeking asylum along the border with Mexico the assumption is that there is another influx from another country in the Northern Triangle (El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala), but that is not the case here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recent media reports indicate that there is currently a large camp of Ambazonians (English Speakers from Cameroon) outside Tijuana. These people are currently seeking asylum in the United States as a result of the conflict in the English Speaking part of the Country. So, the question is &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;how are these individuals transiting from Cameroon to Mexico?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reports indicate that there is a concerted like of transporting people from Cameroon and other egress points to Ecuador to begin the long transit North. Individuals holding a valid passport from Cameroon are not required to have a Visa in order to travel to Ecuador. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The movement of these people should be investigated.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;There is either an individual or a group of people making a bundle of money by providing the transportation between Africa and South America.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This move by the Ambazonians can be seen as an effort to take advantage of the bad publicity the Country currently has in Washington. The death of a US Missionary at a Police Checkpoint is the hingepoint to the souring relations between the United States and Cameroon. It is not that much of a stretch to assume the refugees are hoping the current decline in relations between the countries could be the impetus for the United States to grant the asylum that they crave so badly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;It is sad to note that this crisis has not generated the press coverage that those fleeing from the Northern Triangle has generated.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; It can be argued that the Africans have been inspired by the reactions that their fellow refugees from Central America have garnered from both the Media and Civil Society Groups in both Mexico and the United States.&amp;nbsp; As bad as the immigration system is being taxed in the United States right now, how does one who may have a valid complaint for asylum have their case heard in court?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The crisis in Cameroon has been considered an oversight by most of the major International Media Outlets. The situation on the border has been an election issue in the United States for decades.

Over 200 people were taken hostage from an Anglican Cathedral by the attacking force which was reported to be &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;the ADF (Allied Democratic Forces - a Ugandan Militia group) that has recently established ties to the Islamic State and has been active in the region since 1996.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;The group has been able to maintain a low profile during the decades of conflict that has affected the region since the Rwandan Genocide and the collapse of the Mobutu Government in the mid-1990s.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was during this time when the International Community was focused on the activities of groups such as the &lt;b&gt;FDLR &lt;/b&gt;(Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda, i.e. the Government in Power during the Genocide), &lt;b&gt;M23 &lt;/b&gt;(a Congolese Militia acting as a proxy for other regional powers and local warlords who took advantage of weak governments in Kinshasa) and the notorious &lt;b&gt;LRA &lt;/b&gt;(Lord’s Resistance Army) led by the ICC indictee Joseph Kony.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That brings us to the incident which occurred on the 23rd of August: during the recent past, the ADF has been more brazen in their attacks not only in the Congo, but also in Mozambique (where, according too some analysts the group has a cell in operation). ADF has benefited from the lack of Governance in Kinshasa as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The strengths of the ADF are their recruitment abilities and financial networks. A watchdog group reported, in December 2018, that &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;the group received funds from Waleed Ahmed Zein&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. He is a major financier for the Islamic State&amp;nbsp; Although this in fact does not provide a direct link between these groups it does suggest that there is some linkage between these groups to work towards their common goal of establishing the Caliphate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing that seems to slip under the radar is the lack of accountability that the Kabila Government had during its years in power regarding the Security Situation in the Kivu Provinces and in Ituri. President Tshisekdi did ask for assistance from the Trump Administration in reining in the Militia Activity in the East but the other stakeholders in the conflicts (Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi) also have some responsibility in the unrest that has been allowed to fester for decades - in these provinces - while these governments use the region to deal with the internal strife that they would like to see hidden from the donor’s eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The brazenness of the attack on the Cathedral will be an attention getter in the DRC. The Catholic Church has a prominent presence in the Country as well, especially during the most recent election cycle. To see a Cathedral come under attack and disputes regarding the actions taken by the Security Forces may place greater scrutiny on the Government, as a whole, regarding how it will protect its citizens in the strife torn region of the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The silence so far in response by the Congolese Government is deafening at this juncture.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;(Image: ADF[Ed] - Strategic Intelligence Service via Google Images)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;[The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dissecting Society™ . © 2007-2019 Author(s) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Painful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: #0b5394; font-size: x-large;"&gt;Darkness in the Tunnel&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since I incarnated, I heard politicians being polite to each other, not saying what they really meant or felt about issues. I also heard them swallowing their national pride when pinned against the wall; and I have even seen them come up with expressions to explain their weakness and cowardice. Result: society was taught that transparency and honesty are counterproductive while lying is extremely useful and productive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Society has been slowly decaying year after year due to so much political correctness, soft power, soft language, soft stance, soft negotiations (i.e. favouring always the weakest party no matter what), soft politics, soft, soft, soft…everything became too soft (in theory, to avoid conflict, to promote security and prosperity for all). And what do we have today? More conflicts in the world since WWII; politicians ruined the Western middle class to create a new one in China; hypocrisy is rife and everything is just a mess…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;The Situation&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;White people are being demonised by other white people who pull the strings of minority-marionettes to do the dirty job for them&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Historical facts are being replaced with lies&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The traditional Family Institution is under attack: marriage is between a man and a woman (not between people of the same sex) and children’s emotional stability depends on them having a mummy and a daddy – they need the male and the female figures in their life&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Gay agenda is being pushed even onto children and the youth (now you have gay characters in soap-operas, series, movies and, one of these days, even in cartoons - if Disney yields&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ignorance is better than knowledge&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Extreme Secularism and Laicity caused a spiritual void in society that will take years to correct&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Feminism is a cancer that is eating up our societies and needs a severe dose of chemotherapy&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Socialism only caused more misery, more corruption, more promiscuity and more perversion than any other political system in the history of mankind.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;Light at the End of the Tunnel&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the great financial crisis, of 2008-2012, very few politicians started to realise that if they didn’t do something our societies would be lost forever: Milos Zeman (Czech Republic), Donald Trump (US), Viktor Orbán (Hungary), Jair Bolsonaro (Brazil), Boris Johnson (UK), Matteo Salvini (Italy) and many others who truly love their country and People.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This new breed of politicians speak their mind (they mean what they say and say what they mean), their positions are clear (even though their methodology may not be); they are direct, confrontational, they use strong language, they are not afraid and they exude power. So, naturally, this is very upsetting to those on the left aisle of the political amphitheatre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;The Situation&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Many of these new leaders have counsellors, and members of cabinet, of different ethnic backgrounds (yet they are called racist)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;They work with truly smart women (yet they are called misogynistic)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;They are very protective of the integrity of their national borders (yet they are perceived as bigots)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;They believe in the power of the People – not in the power of the so-called elites (yet they are called “Populists” as if the term were a derogatory one)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;They believe in the Labour Force as the engine of any economy (yet the left seeks to bar them from succeeding – which says it all about the Left)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;They are extremely patriotic (although they are called “white supremacist”)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;They have solids plans to develop their countries even further (yet their achievements are ignored and silenced)...&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The level of insidiousness is so high that the Media, and their partners, brainwash the ignorant into believing that these leaders are the Devil itself. Even some intelligent creatures when confronted with the “populists’” success they will say “yeah, I give them credit for that…but the language is too strong”; seriously, what did soft and polite language do for Brother Obama?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;Conclusion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life is generated with hard, not soft. Intense pleasure is attained with hard, not soft. Therefore, nature tells us that successful politics is done with hard talk, hard stance, hard power, and hard diplomacy…not soft.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Diplomatic Politeness &lt;i&gt;in extremis&lt;/i&gt; is what brought our societies to moral decay. So, we should stop focusing on such niceties and concentrate more on political achievements. What has the People won from X or Y leader?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make your country great again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;(Image: Light at the End of Cave[Ed] - Shutterstock via Google Images)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;[The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dissecting Society™ . © 2007-2019 Author(s) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

This could lead to a future escalation instead of a conclusion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Turkey's Perspective&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Turkish version of this incident was that this column was en route to the Observation Post near Morek. Reports have indicated that the rebels have moved away from the area after a series of aerial bombardments. The Turkish OP was one of a dozen such facilities allowed under an agreement reached between the Governments of Turkey, Syria and Russia to prevent a large scale offensive in the province last year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the most interesting parts of the accord was the provision encouraging the Turks to rein in some of the insurgent groups that have been active in the region - it is this reasoning that caused the Syrian Government to launch the airstrikes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;The Turkish Column was accused of supplying the insurgents by the Syrian Government. The logic being presented makes this incident a potential harbinger of a dangerous escalation.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, it appears that several cracks may be appearing in this relationship. Under the terms of this deal &lt;i style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;the Turks were supposed to rein in the activities of the Jihadist Groups that are operating in Idlib Province;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;however, Turkey has had its own agenda in Syria supporting several groups that were fighting to remove embattled President Assad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;Russia's Perspective&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recent allegations by Moscow state that the rebels continue to fire upon areas controlled by the Government and Russian Military Installations. In the Kremlin's perspective, this shows that &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Ankara is failing to live up to their end of the bargain&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. One question that arises from the Russian complaints has to be just how much control or influence do the Turks have over certain groups especially Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (the name of the former branch of Al-Qaeda that controlled vast portions of Northwest Syria during earlier phases of the conflict).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In June, the Turks complained that Syrian Government Forces fired on one of their outposts which resulted in three soldiers being wounded. At the time, Russia blamed the incident on Syrian Opposition Forces. The Turkish Foreign Minister stated that in his view that this was a deliberate attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Situation&lt;/b&gt;: it is not if another incident will occur to place more tension on this fragile agreement but when will it occur.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The location of the next incident&amp;nbsp; has yet to be determined but there are general ideas of who the parties are generally known not just within Syria but also in general around the world. There will be some criticism about who does what to whom in Syria but &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;ending a protracted conflict does tend to be a tad messy&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and that is what Damascus, Ankara and Moscow are learning the hard way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;(Image: Turkish Tanks in Syria[Ed] - UK Defence Journal via Jewish Policy Centre)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;[The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dissecting Society™ . © 2007-2019 Author(s) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Your elbows are down and in front of your ribs.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;When he is coming in fast and but one step away he will start to launch a limb at you.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;HE PUNCHES STRAIGHT&lt;/b&gt;: Breathe OUT as you Sweep in a circle upwards with your arms his arm, meeting it on its OUTERSIDE when it is half-way between you.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;HE PUNCHES CIRCULAR&lt;/b&gt;: Breathe OUT as you Sweep upwards with your arms into his upper arm, meeting it on its INNERSIDE. As you are inside his circling Force: EXPLODE into a Thunderbolt forearm into the side of his neck; or, if he is trying to kill you then the point of your elbow into the front of his throat, like a rhino’s horn.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;HE KICKS STRAIGHT&lt;/b&gt;: Breathe OUT as you stay upright and step a little back: Sweep with your arms Sweep downwards to touch his leg with your arms as you turn your body away (Move Target). Scoop with your arms his leg, from outside inward towards his centre-line. Move in for the finish off. As he is on one leg he cannot get away.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;HE KICKS CIRCULAR&lt;/b&gt;: Breathe OUT as you Dive fast your body straight to his Groin as your arm sweeps sideways into his swinging thigh. Slam your Thunderbolt forearm up into his groin.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;After you deflect his limb: Step in to attack a suitably close red dot.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Then Step behind him and attack his knee and/ or leave.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;What does this waza FEEL like to you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like shape-shifting what you see: to measure its true form and distance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like busying your mind with Red Dotting him rather than you worrying about anything else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like swinging a golf club or baseball bat: but soft for your deflection; hard for your strike.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;What does this waza FEEL like to the enemy?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thrusting or Reaching too far for the prize he falls forward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;What &lt;u&gt;Principles &lt;/u&gt;does this waza seek to &lt;u&gt;Teach&lt;/u&gt;: and thus what can you &lt;u&gt;Learn &lt;/u&gt;from &lt;u&gt;Practicing &lt;/u&gt;this waza?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Your mind is your greatest weapon – but only if you use it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fear is a demon trying to wrestle away the steering of your mind. You help to overcome Fear by deliberately using your mind and firmly steering yourself.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Controlling your Breathing &lt;b&gt;OUT&lt;/b&gt; is a time-honoured method used by ancient warriors to prevent Fear from overwhelming them.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Although small, you too can be dangerous. Know the smallest germs can terrorise the whole world.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;That avoiding a strike is better than to clash with it by a hard block.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If something is in the way of your target: move it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do not meet &lt;b&gt;FORCE &lt;/b&gt;with force, but meet &lt;b&gt;FORCE &lt;/b&gt;with Avoidance.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Do not waste time attacking Strengths: Only attack weaknesses.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You are the same as any &lt;b&gt;GIANT&lt;/b&gt;: if you have vulnerable eyes: so do they.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Knowledge of system weaknesses allows you to attack them: Knowledge can be Power.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Your awareness of your surrounds is your longest range weapon and defence.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Make of something that is Forceful into a thing even more &lt;b&gt;FORCEFUL &lt;/b&gt;so your mind knows it is controlling this process and can thus more confidently command itself to avoid a damaging Force.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;To know the effect of a blow on another you would need to know their health level.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A blow is effective if it damages the &lt;b&gt;INSIDE &lt;/b&gt;of the body, not just its surface.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If a waza is not working then smoothly switch to another. If your lock is not working: there is no reason preventing you from doing an immediate strike.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Strike your nearest weapon to its nearest target.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A successful distraction of their mind is nearly as good as a successful blow, as that blow will closely follow.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If an attacker is too high to hit their head then a low blow may bring their head down and in reach.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A killing attack you meet with a determined killing defence until you gain control and can either restrain the Aggressor or run away. Restraining is for Law enforcement; running is for anyone else. You do not know how many of his gangster type friends may be nearby.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you can see his weak points as Red Dots then your mind knows what it can do without being restricted by gloomy hesitating from unknowns.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You strike like a coiled serpent: a fast whipping motion with your hip and body behind it; relaxed so there is no warning him of its coming.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;All real combat is chaos and quick, you need to &lt;b&gt;SEE &lt;/b&gt;and &lt;b&gt;DO &lt;/b&gt;without deliberate thinking.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;(Image: Black Shinobi[Ed] - Scabrous Pencil via Google Images)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;[The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dissecting Society™ . © 2007-2019 Author(s) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Who makes policy: legislators or judges? Who upholds our National Interests: the elected government or business people? Who runs the show, after all?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;The Suspicious Link Between Judges and NGOs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Judges exist to analyse and interpret the law free of political dogmas. Judges are not supposed to make laws or make decisions outside their range of action. More and more NGOs are proving to be foreign agents and judges are helping these agents to militate against their own country – not long ago this would constitute treason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Italy&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Parliament decided that NGOs cannot continue to push for the entry of illegal immigrants in Italian territory. Italian legislators had decided they would no longer accept to be blackmailed by foreign entities into accepting illegals. One judge decided to go against the legislative branch and allow for the entrance of a Spanish NGO boat filled with illegal Africans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any Defence Minister (DM) is paid to protect his/her country. Yet, the Italian DM reportedly had a “conscience” and felt guilty in the middle of a battle for the integrity of her state’s borders. With all due respect, people like Ms Elisabetta Trenta give more credence to those who believe women should not be appointed to certain positions – if your conscience prevents you from doing your job properly, then seek a more compassionate activity (like being a housewife).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are not times to play the Humanitarian. We are having foreign entities forcing illegal migrants into our countries, with what right? If “Open Arms” is a Spanish NGO then it should’ve taken its cargo to Spain - its refusal in doing so reveals the nature of its goals. Moreover, what are we waiting for to accuse such NGO vessels of being the new Slave Ships? What they are doing smacks human trafficking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;There is nothing humane or humanitarian about these “rescue” operations: it is sheer politics. It’s all part of an agenda and the right people must fight it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #660000;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;NB&lt;/b&gt;: speaking of borders – we received the information that the Italian Embassy in a certain African country is indiscriminately distributing visas to the locals. It’s necessary to verify the veracity of this information, because if true then it’s a clear attempt to sabotage I fratelli di Italia.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Israel&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Knesset legislates and the Supreme Court never misses an opportunity to overrule the power of the people for ideological purposes. But now it has gone beyond that: the High Court is banning Political Parties from running in the upcoming elections based on “evidence” that they are racist and offensive against the Arab public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This could be viewed as a reasonable decision for no one wants to promote racism; however, the Israeli Supreme Court only acknowledges racism when it’s a Jewish citizen criticising the Left or Arab Terrorists - or even when a Jew defends the integrity of the Jewish People. But, when Arab and leftist politicians incite against Jews and support organisations that openly declare that all Jews should be killed, not only they are allowed to participate in the elections but they are also protected by the Israeli Courts. So, what is the criterion?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Government decides to build in Judea and Samaria, since &lt;a href="https://israelipalestinian.procon.org/sourcefiles/The-Levy-Commission-Report-on-the-Legal-Status-of-Building-in-Judea-and-Samaria.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;according to International Law&lt;/a&gt; it belongs to Israel, and this Supreme Court (that ignores the law when it comes to that Region) never misses an opportunity to fight the State and to persecute Jews - under whose authority? The International Left’s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what happens when Israel tries to blend with the Nations and act like them. Israel is not like the Nations: its sole Constitution is the Torah, its Laws are the ones Commanded by G-d, and the Jewish State is not supposed to act like the rest of the world and is not supposed to care about what other Nations think of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;שמ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;ע&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt; ישראל יהוה אלהינו יהוה אח&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;ד&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;The United States&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Trump made a decision to protect his country’s borders by preventing certain foreign citizens from entering the US. He also decided that only immigrants who are coming to the US to work, and not be dependent on well-fare, can have a green card. He also dedicates himself to building a protective wall in the southern border with Mexico to safeguard the integrity of the United States. Yet, district judges always try to overrule the President and endanger America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is clearly a pattern being formed here, a bit around the world, and it is safe to say that (like &lt;a href="https://dissectingsociety.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-al-qaeda-7-step-plan-west-complies.html" target="_blank"&gt;the Al-Qaeda 7-Step Plan&lt;/a&gt;) the Left is stepping up its efforts to stop the Right Politicians from correcting the world, as 2020 approaches…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;Who’s running the Show then?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far, fans of Constructivism and Liberalism (as per the International Relations Theory definition) have been running the show. But their plan is working against them as Globalists and the International Left are finally proving that only Realism is true: we live in an anarchic system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simultaneously, they insist upon going against the flow by pushing for a system where ‘leaders’ and International Organisations are the central actors in international politics, when the nature of things keeps pulling them back into reality:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Realpolitik is the prescription to run states, not Utopianism&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;States are the central players in international politics&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;No supranational authority can enforce rules and laws (in fact the UN, the EU and other international bodies prove time and time again that their ‘rules’ and ‘agreements’ &lt;i&gt;Non Sunt Servanta&lt;/i&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;States operate to uphold their national interests (and that is why the Europe-an Union will eventually die)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Power needs to be attained as a means of self-preservation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There’s no way to fight the Natural Order of Things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We must fight anarchy: Judges, International Organisations, NGOs, the Corporate World and Businessmen are to be encouraged to understand that their meddling with Nature and their corruption are no longer acceptable. It is also time to show them that &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;their agenda and idealism are not above National Interests.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; They are not in charge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Italy, Israel, the US, Brazil, Hungary, Poland, the UK, Japan, Rwanda and others must do what is right for their country. They don’t have to appease an international community that militates against them according to their own nefarious goals. Italy, Israel, the US, Brazil, Hungary, Poland, the UK, Japan, Rwanda and others come first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If there’s any ‘politician’ who can’t take the heat, because they are in someone’s pocket or under someone’s control, then they can leave the kitchen…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;[The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dissecting Society™ . © 2007-2019 Author(s) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Who successfully delivers the first strike has won half the battle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;DEFENCE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;1....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Breathe in: and as you do so, use your mind, your imagination to expand the size, the dimensions of the Aggressor into giant proportions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;2....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then as you breathe out: Use your mind, as it did the expansion, to shrink the mental image down to the real size of the problem. And also just how much distance is between you both.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This does not eliminate the problem but it does gain you some mastery over your fears. This is your mind reminding yourself that Fear expands threats, but threats need to be dealt with as they are. Your mind knows that emotions exaggerate problems and by deliberately doing the expansion you take over the control of it, and take back the control of your emotions. You are not so helpless if you can make of a vicious problem a larger problem then decrease it to more manageable and realistic portions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Martial Arts you breathe in quickly, suck air, sniffing it in through your nose. The control comes in when you slowly breathe out. You can control exactly how fast and how much air goes out. Reminding yourself that it is You and Not the Menace who is in charge of your body. Thus your mind regains control over your fears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;3....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, as the Aggressor gets closer, and you are controlling your breathing and thus your panic level, &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;view in your mind that person as a robot with bright red dots at his main weak points, the targets.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Raise your hands to your upper chest level, but not higher, your elbows are vertically down in front of you and your arms are very loose, like a whip; soft and ready. Your arms form a loose triangle or pyramid shape pointed out from your centre-line.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;4....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HIS PUNCH/ GRAB: As an arm thrusts at you to punch or grab, time your arms to contact when his is at the half-way mark between you; you forearms at your chest level you sweep your arms forward from your elbows to greet his arm, you touch his arm. As you touch his arm you are turning your torso to be side-on to him. That moves your centre-line targets away from an impact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can also turn your feet to assist as necessary. You will end up either inside or outside of his arm, with his arm sliding passed you, for you have NOT blocked its passage, its Force. As his arm does not impact, its mass and momentum sends him forward and a bit off balance. When you sweep with your arms: your hands end up high at your head area and it is your forearms that contact with his arm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this point you can guide his arm either upward or down. Either way exposes more of his targets. How you guide his arm: You do NOT push it with your arm strength. Instead, your arm/s are in contact with his extended arm. Fix your arms in place at your centre-line and just turn your body with your arms and it is your body that presses his arm further in its motion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If he WAS a robot of steel the force of his arm does not matter, as you are no longer in its path and have not used Force to try and block it. You do not block a steel pipe, nor an immensely strong striking arm. You ride the force-wave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;5....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You still see the red dots on his body. Your defensive flow slightly away from him smoothly cycles back into your stepping forward closer and lunging forward to strike THROUGH a red dot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #674ea7;"&gt;6....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then you step again to get behind him and attack another red dot, deliver a side-kick to the rear of his knee and/ or swiftly leave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the chaos of combat when you sweep your arms to avoid a strike you may find yourself INSIDE his arms instead of OUTSIDE them where you would be far safer. Don’t think, immediately slide into him and ram an elbow into the side of his throat (into the windpipe would kill), or, if he is too high, fire an arm along the top of his and chop him in the neck. Now you have drawn his attention upward, you go for a low attack to his groin, knee or foot. So when ending up inside of his arms: Explode into a strike to his throat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;PRACTICE AGAINST an ARM ATTACKING:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your partner steps forward and sends out a strong arm, but slowly. You match the speed of his arm and circle your arms to touch the outer side of it, do not press his arm. Then as his arm is still driving forward, you turn your body so, still attached to him, your body turns and draws his arm further along and passed you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You both practice in slow motion a lot: attacker alternating arms used and defender sweeping their arms one way and then the other. The important thing is not so much your arms but the moving of your body: MOVE THE TARGET, don’t just stay there trying to block with your arms. Also match whatever speed the attacking arm is coming at you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you LATER move on to gradually increasing the speed of the attack and so the speed of the defence. But Defender: do not fall into the trap of, in a rush, using strength to try and knock his arm aside. The Attacker only strikes up to the highest speed that his partner, the defender, can cope with. With much practice that limiting speed can be surpassed safely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;LEG – STRAIGHT ATTACK (at the close point when he can kick)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #a64d79;"&gt;1....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a leg strikes out at you, to your torso, instead of sweeping both your arms upward, you sweep both downward from your elbows but keep your posture upright: do not bend forward to try and grab or meet his leg (or you will get kicked or hit in the head): let his leg come to you, to stretch it out. For lower kicks to your legs: just move or raise the leg that is targeted (then kick with that, or swiftly place it down to recover your balance and mobility).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #a64d79;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #a64d79;"&gt;2....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a small step Back and sweep scooping downward and then upward his leg touching its Outer side. For strong kicks you need to protect your fingers from accidental damage: so keep your fingers closed in a Soft fist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #a64d79;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #a64d79;"&gt;3....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Immediately step in and keeping your hands in your centre-line turn your body towards his centre-line to off balance him. You might have caught is leg in your arms, or not. It doesn’t matter: he is still standing on just one leg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #a64d79;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #a64d79;"&gt;4....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step into him and thrust/ push him over or hit a red dot target and leave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;PRACTICE WITH a LEG ATTACKING&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;CARE&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;: in practice as thrusting a partner over into a backward fall may damage his head; use soft mats and a mindful instructor on how to do proper Breakfalls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Practice slowly and only build up speed as much as can be handled safely by the Defender. You are friendly partners learning waza, only in the street when you are assaulted should you automatically apply what you know with matching speed and an intense determination to end the fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;PART IX: Summary&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;(Image: Yiggdrasil[Ed] - Bavi Power via Google Images)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;[The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dissecting Society™ . © 2007-2019 Author(s) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Also one is high and the other low: so attacking one and that being defended, exposes the other target area to an attack. So, a useful strategy is to hit high and then low, or hit low and then high.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are the points that you must &lt;b&gt;LIGHT UP AS RED DOTS &lt;/b&gt;on the body of your opponent, your ‘robot’. You no longer see a human you see a robotic metallic body with red dots at vital points. As you move and whatever position that you are in see and go for the red dots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These red dots are an artificial creation of your mind. However, that virtual, magical creation matches an underlying reality where it allows you to connect to the body’s real tree of nerves. For we have within us a magnificent magical tree of branches from the brain to everywhere in the body. As impulse lines from the brain, that are also the brain, and thus the brain is actually not ONLY the brain in the skull plus the spinal cord. It is all cords that weave throughout your body. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;So your whole body is only a capsule for the brain. The brain is everywhere. The brain is all.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By tapping into the nervous system’s Atemi Points you can affect the brain and thus the mind and body of your opponent. The trees and plants that you see, the internal branching system that they use, you also use a similar one. Branches of nerves and blood vessels. Trees and animals are, in that, similar creatures, not only because plants have much of the same but then differing DNA as you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;The DRAGON, the SERPENT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are the dragon at the base of the tree. ‘Yggdrasil’ to the Scandinavian warriors. In Hatha Yoga, their Serpent of energy imagined as at the base of the spine was called in Sanskrit ‘Kundalini’ meaning ‘coiled serpent’.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A common belief in yoga circles is that a key step to allowing the kundalini energy to rise up the spine is to open up or unblock the chakras. Mostly the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are seen to have opposing functions; the sympathetic is for ‘flight, fight or freeze’ while the parasympathetic is for ‘relaxation, recovery and rejuvenation’.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;The Kundalini - Our Inner Serpent&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Early History&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The universal power, pure nature and vast potential of the Kundalini seems to have been well understood by the ancients. Often it was symbolized as a serpent coiled in three and a half circles with its tail in its mouth, and spiralling around the central axis (sacrum or sacred bone) at the base of the spine. Kundalini is a Sanskrit word literally meaning “coiled serpent”. Over a period of thousands of years, this sacred energy of creation can be found in esoteric teachings from civilizations as diverse as the Egyptians, Tibetans and Chinese.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Kundalini depicted as a coiled serpent&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Upanishads (teachings of the masters), the sacred Vedic scriptures dating back to a period between the tenth and fifth centuries B.C., provided the first known detailed description of this phenomenon, but engravings of yogi-like figures, predating these scriptures by 3,000 years or more, have been discovered by archaeological digs throughout the Indus valley.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;From the Upanishads:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The divine power, Kundalini, shines like the stem of a young lotus;&lt;br /&gt;like a snake, coiled round upon herself, she holds her tail in her mouth&lt;br /&gt;and lies resting half asleep as the base of the body.&lt;br /&gt;Yoga Kundalini Upanishad (1.82)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In ancient times the goal was not fitness. Rather it was direct connection with Brahman, the Universal Spirit within us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;NOTE:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;i&gt;What happens in deaths from a heavy blow to the head: is that a heavy blow rocks and rattles the brain in the skull, bashing it against the bumpy skull interior walls causing bleeding and eventual death without surgical intervention. All heavy blows to the skull area should be avoided unless your life is on the line.&amp;nbsp;The much touted Delayed Death Touch of Dim Mak: where the fighter dies days later is usually because of internal bleeding in organs or brain coupled with the fighter trying to show bravery in the face of pain and having too much pride to see a doctor and so they do not get any internal damage fixed.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="https://dissectingsociety.blogspot.com/2019/08/training-jedi-knight-types-lesson-7-red_19.html" target="_blank"&gt;PART VIII: Attack, Defence&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;[The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dissecting Society™ . © 2007-2019 Author(s) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

The grooves form a “V”. If you are close or can get close then a hard punch or strike there will cause a person to bend forward. This is useful in bringing a taller person’s head down to your level to target and off balance them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Groin:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prime Target. It has a large area and is often highly vulnerable with a strong paralysing reaction. However, not always. A person high on their own adrenaline or drugs may be struck there without any crippling effect. Also the area is often well protected and an attack there readily expected. Never rely on a groin strike to do anything but distract the opponent’s mind: instantly follow up with some other crippling strike. The groin strike will often bring down their head so you can strike that. Also their feet will usually remain in place and you can stomp the foot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Inside of the Thigh:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Half way up the inner thigh is an exposed nerve. A close knee or far foot strike there may cause the leg to collapse. However, the well conditioned thighs of fighters, such as from practicing Muay Thai or Brazilian JuJutsu might take such strikes. It is normally a highly exposed target. So there is no other leg on its outer side, the folding leg can buckle and down the opponent falls. This occurs if you don’t just hit to hurt but hit to THRUST THROUGH the leg: it is the push through buckles the leg and down they go. So that means you must be close enough to still have your leg bent when your foot contacts the opponent’s inner thigh. There is a similar point just above the inside knee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Outside of the Thigh:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Half way up the outer thigh is an exposed nerve. A close knee or shin strike there is often sought to paralyse the leg. It is called “Charlie’s Horse”. However, the well conditioned thighs of fighters (Muay Thai, Brazilian JuJutsu) can take such strikes. It is normally a highly exposed target. Hitting there may not topple a person as they have their other leg in place to brace their balance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Knee (from all directions):&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prime Target. People normally wear shoes. A hard kick to the knee should damage it and end the fight. No mobility, no fighting. And such a strike does not Kill, a very important factor in its use. The damage may be permanent however, and the fighter never fight again. This is why in sports such as Sport Karate kicking to the knee is banned. So in that way Sport Karate is not OK for street defence, UNLESS there is a trained acceptance to kick the knee. The knee is far from the opponent’s protecting arms and so is your prime and best target in a street fight. Your longer leg can hit his knee before his arm can hit you (providing you kick fast and hard at the right time (side-kicks to the front are preferred as front kicks with their narrower focus can easily miss in the stress and motion of a real fight).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Shin:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Shin is a leg bone from front of knee to the foot , and normally you do not strike your bone on their bone. However, the Shin is like the Sternum, it has nerves on its surface on the inner side of each leg. The shin bone when kicked hard generates a lot of sharp pain and distracts the mind, allowing a follow up attack. If grabbed from behind you might be able to scrape your shoe all then way down to a stomp on top of their foot. A one-footed person cannot fight very well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Ankle:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not a commonly thought of target, until one gets hit there by a hard kick and then it is very painful and takes the leg out of commission. The ankle, as a bone, cannot be strengthened against an impact, as for you so they are the same. A low kick is hard to block and the only defence is to move the foot before it gets hit. So if kicking the ankle, distract their mind first to a higher region.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Instep:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prime Target.&lt;br /&gt;A large exposed area on top of the front of the foot. Even with a shoe on protecting it, it is still vulnerable to a stomp. A hard stomp on the Instep with a shoed heel can break the thin delicate bones there and while they are jumping around on one foot they cannot fight. Fight over, run away. When grabbed from behind and their feet near yours: stomp hard. This is why grabbers may spread their legs and feet so that you cannot stomp: then just deliver a hard heel back up into their groin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;FROM THE REAR:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Rear of Neck:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is the back of the spine. Unfortunately a blow (chop) from a light person on a heavy man may only stun a little. However a heavy blow can do extreme damage (think paraplegic) or kill. A strike by a light person’s elbow point here is dangerous. This is a KILL point not to be struck unless you know that you are in the physical process of being killed by your attacker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The Spine:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dangerous if damaged. A knee or elbow into the spine can do damage, and maybe that damage cannot be repaired. So not a target unless your life is in danger. Same with the bottom part of the spine: the coccyx.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Kidneys:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prime Target.&lt;br /&gt;The kidney’s lack protection from a rear attack. They are only covered by sheet muscle. A penetrating blow into the kidneys can cause bleeding and shock. Commandoes, in rear attacks on sentries find it effective to lodge their blade-point into a kidney as they cover the sentry’s mouth.&lt;br /&gt;Hammerfists or chops to a kidney have a shock effect. More deadly is using a harder pointed part of your body, such as a projecting knuckle from your fist or an elbow point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Back of Knee:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prime Target.&lt;br /&gt;The knee can be struck from any direction. You side-kick the knee from behind or from the side of the opponent. To collapse their leg and they drop forward onto their knee where you are mobile and they are not. From there their head can be targeted and/or you run away. Don’t just kick to the back of their knee: kick Through it and press their knee/lower leg all the way down to the ground. Take care and do slowly with your training partner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Achilles Tendon:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tendons are connectors that tie muscle to bone. The Achilles Tendon at the rear of the foot anchors the Calf muscle to the heel. If it is smashed, damaged or cut the lower leg no longer mechanically can work. On one foot they cannot fight. Fight over, run away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;These are not all the Atemi Points, but just some that are more easily found in the chaos of a fight,&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; especially easier if wrestling rather than boxing, when vital body points are more stationary and fixed so harder to alleviate damage by moving them away to go in the same direction as the striking force.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="https://dissectingsociety.blogspot.com/2019/08/training-jedi-knight-types-lesson-7-red_99.html" target="_blank"&gt;PART VII: From Any Direction&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;(Image: Atemi Points[Ed] - Google Images)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;[The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dissecting Society™ . © 2007-2019 Author(s) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

The fallout from these events will have a long lasting impact as well not just for Kyrgyzstan but possibly for Central Asia as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The issue in question was an &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;initial&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;raid by Kyrgyz Security Forces upon the home of the former President Almazbek Atambayev &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;after the former leader failed to appear as a witness upon being summoned to appear in front of a panel investigating allegations of corruption and abuses of power - committed during his term in office.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;During this first effort, one officer was killed and six others were taken hostage by the supporters of Mr. Atambayev who took up arms to defend their leader.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;A second raid resulted in the hostages being rescued and Mr. Atambayev being taken into custody &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;and transported to the Capital of Bishkek. Reports indicate that he is being held at the Interior Ministry where he is being questioned about the botched raid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the point where events become more interesting: addressing a Special Session of Parliament the current President Sooranbi Jeenbekov told the lawmakers that the former leader &lt;i&gt;“had been summoned to appear as a witness, now we will summon him over a grave crime.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;There are now reports of clashes between Security Forces and supporters of Mr. Atambayev.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It should be noted that on August 8th a rally was planned by Mr. Atambayev. That has now been cancelled and he urged his supporters to defend his home. One ally of Atambayev who still sits in the Parliament was quoted as saying that the supporters of the former President &lt;i&gt;“were ready to defend the President to the end.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;Geopolitical Factors&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are some interesting geopolitical factors at play as well. There are reports that in recent weeks, &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Mr. Atambayev met with the Russian President Vladimir Putin.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; The questions that arise from this meeting will have analysts wondering if Mr. Putin offered any protection to the former leader. If so why wasn’t it delivered? Or even more chilling could be when will it manifest to rescue Mr. Atambayev. Russia's silence is so far an issue to consider.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;When Moscow is silent for an extended period that can be seen as they have taken some form of action in their best interests.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Contrast that to the relations with the United States&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. As the War in Afghanistan continues to be scaled back, the importance of Kyrgyzstan has decreased to the point that, in 2018, the Commander of Central Command testified in front of Congress that he felt the Country preferred to have ties with both Russia and China. The US would focus&amp;nbsp; more on improving relations with the region as an entity than just focusing on one specific country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When President Jeenbekov became President, in 2017, after a peaceful transfer of power there were no indications at that point of time of any falling out between these two leaders would take place. After all Mr. Jeenbekov was the hand picked successor to Mr. Atambayev. It appears that these elections in essence kicked the can down the road and delayed any potential violence in the country for two years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing is for certain. This is a political squabble. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Currently the average citizen has not taken to the streets yet to support either leader. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;It appears that a wait and see attitude has taken hold and people are wishing to see how the situation evolves before any crucial decision is made. In fact, a popular blogger in the country recently posted:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;“Don’t be fooled that we’re choosing between Atambayev and the current government, they’re from the same flesh”.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having this attitude on the street is not a good omen for either side in this dispute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A dispute that led to the falling out of two former allies, no popular support currently on the street. This is a recipe that could lead to some unknown parties with outside backers to make a play for power if they can garner some support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;(Image: Kyrgyzstan Flag - Britannica via Google Images)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;[The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dissecting Society™ . © 2007-2019 Author(s) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

This is a KILL point so not to be struck hard unless you are in the physical process of being killed by your attacker. A light blow will stun but a hard blow that crushes the larynx will cause the person to convulse, not breathe and die. Desperate for breath they may become maniacal and one should stay away from them, as a dangerous foe such struck could still kill you in the seconds that they have before going unconscious and dying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The Jugular Notch:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prime Target. This is a KILL point so not to be struck hard unless you are in the physical process of being killed by your attacker. This point is the ditch at the very bottom of the throat, just above the collar-bone. There are nerves and arties inside and below it. It can be pressed to push someone away; or struck with a jab to cause a coughing fit. The tool that you use must fit the lock: Wrap your middle finger over your first finger for reinforcing support and jab into the Jugular Notch. Go deep in and then down. If you hook your finger over the bottom collar bone you can pull and drive the opponent to the ground. It is not easy to get to the throat or head area as it is readily defended by the opponent’s arms. Thus a distraction may be needed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Sides of Throat:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prime Target. The sides of the neck have protection: strong neck muscles, in a weight lifter/ wrestler they can be like armour protecting the softer vital spots below. So attack the hollows one either side of the neck with stiffened fingers (spear hand) stab deep and upward towards the centre of his head.&lt;br /&gt;You can also chop the side of his neck (Hiraken edge of hand).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your hand coming into the neck at a 90° angle is not bad, but strong muscle can get in the way. Below that muscle are nerves and arteries: so you need to first move the covering muscle aside. How to do that when using one hand in all? You do not hit the usual way at 90°. Instead hit at 45° either coming inward or going outward, whatever is easier depending on your height and position.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;Circular&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;: So you whip your Hiraken or Spear Hand round just beyond the neck and then inward to hit the side of the neck and continue pulling to slide his covering muscle forward and pull the impact point in to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;Straight&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;: Or, you thrust your arm straight and hit the side of his neck collecting his covering muscle and shifting it back away so the force of your impact goes deep into the underlying nerves and veins.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As with all strikes where the target can move away from the impact: If possible use you other hand to, in this case hold or palm the head so it cannot move away from the blow. The head will then feel the full force of the blow. This should at least stun the opponent if it does not render him unconscious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a KILL POINT at the side of the throat, but not easy to find, and a hard knuckle or thumb there can kill. This is the meeting point of arteries and, especially in those people over 50 years old; it is common for plaque (cholesterol) to build up there. If those arteries at that point are squished by a blow, the plaque can stick the passage together and blood not again flow through: so the patient does not recover as they normally would. This is an example of the effect on all blows by the medical condition of the person attacked and hit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you would not normally read anyone’s medical chart before striking them, the JuJutsu and ‘soft’ arts, where the waza allow control of an opponent as an option, rather than just bashing them, are more user-friendly than the harder more killing arts of Karate and the like, where the life and death effects of blows cannot be easily pre-determined.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The Collar Bones:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prime Target. People strike to the head and the stomach but little attention is sometimes placed to the vulnerability of the collar-bones. The importance of targeting the collar-bones is that they are a large target, whereas many vital points are small and very difficult to reach with accuracy when in the stress of a fight you have lost your fine motor skills. A downward hard smash on a collar-bone by a Hammer-fist can break the collar-bone. A broken collar-bone means that the fight is over and you have not killed your opponent (but they still must go to hospital as very dangerous complications can set in). Broken, the opponent can no longer effectively fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Armpit:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the arm is down or the elbow of a guard is protecting the ribs, the Armpit is not accessible. It has its defences close. But if an arm is used to attack, it cannot also defend, and it leaves behind an exposed Armpit. Any limb that leaves the body leaves behind exposed targets. If one deflects the striking arm, an immediate counterstrike to the armpit is possible, especially is you can instantly step in close. A Spear hand can stab deep into the armpit paralysing that arm. Be sure that you are close enough so that when your fingertips touch the Armpit, your arm is still bent. So when you suddenly straighten your arm your force will go deep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do not strike to touch the surface of the body, always strike THROUGH the body to try to get to the other side. Maximises acceleration. Keep your deflecting arm pressed on their attacking arm and strike with your other hand (unless you end up inside their arm when you use the same arm to deflect and strike, like a snake).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The Sternum:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sternum is a bone, and normally you do not strike your bone on their bone. However, the Sternum is like the Shin, it has nerves on its surface. You hit and grind in your knuckle into the Sternum and the pain is great. There is no permanent damage. Of course one does not win by pain alone, and you need to do something else at the same time: such as your other hand hooking their waist and pulling in to you hard. With these opposing forces you can throw a person backward, using just one knuckle and the finger/s of your hand at their rear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The Solar Plexus:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A popular spot to hit and temporarily incapacitate another person. Punches often go there. But this spot is well covered by the arms and thick clothing can prevent penetration. It is rimmed by an arch of bone making a fist not really suitable as the striking tool. Far more effective is a narrower tool, such as Hiraken. You thrust the Hiraken’s blade of knuckles vertically into the slot of the Solar Plexus where if you then twist it before retraction, you may hit the heart. So this can be a dangerous strike, if you ever get through the defensive guard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The Fingers:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fingers are many and separately weak. Hands reaching towards you may be grabbed by the fingers. Grab fingers at any presented opportunity. Your can pull them apart or bend them backward even when you are much weaker than your opponent. There are many JuJutsu waza for bending fingers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Under the Ribs to the Liver (Right side) or Spleen (left side):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a KILL point so not to be struck hard unless you are in the physical process of being killed by your attacker. The lower ribs protect the vital organs of the Liver and Spleen. If either is ruptured they bleed and the patient needs to go to hospital urgently, fight over. The bottom ribs are not anchored like the others and if forcibly struck might break and lance into an organ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These points are useful in making an unwanted person back away, such as a drunk or crowding unfriendly. When they are close or hugging you simply take your thumb point and press deep under the ribs and then upward, the pain will make them back off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The Bladder:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bladder is in the lower abdomen, just above the groin pelvic bone. A hard strike into the bladder may rupture it and the patient needs to go to hospital, fight over. A painful area if hit. It will cause a high person to bend forward, presenting their head to you for your inspection and targeting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="https://dissectingsociety.blogspot.com/2019/08/training-jedi-knight-types-lesson-7-red_15.html" target="_blank"&gt;PART VI: From the Front (continued, C), From the Rear&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;(Image: Jugular Notch[Ed] - Kempo Class via Google Images)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;[The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dissecting Society™ . © 2007-2019 Author(s) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

A light hit here, such as with a Backfist, obscures the vision and stuns a little and so allows the application of a hold. It was a favourite distraction strike used by Grandmaster Soke: Morihei Ueshiba (1883-1969AD) who designed and for years kept redesigning his art of Aikido from damaging combat into a more spiritual flow. Thus, the various styles of Aikido depending on what period his live-in students learned from him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As JuJutsu and Aikido (combat version) understand that, in free fighting, you cannot just go in and try to place a hold on your opponent as he, easily seeing this at a distance, will counter by blocking or moving. Therefore the value of distractions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Do not strike a HARD blow &lt;/b&gt;to this point as that may rock the brain (the base of the brain starts at that point level) and cause internal bleeding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The Eyes:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prime Target. Nice people don’t think of attacking the eyes as that would be too much for their sensitivities. There are many millions of nice people, they form the category of peoples who are victims and they end up damaged or dead. There are millions of corpses all though history and everywhere in the world. Try to not be one of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fingers into the eyes can easily damage the eyes, maybe beyond repair, but are not a killing strike. A stiletto through the eye would kill. However, blindness from a fight is an unwanted outcome, unless you are fighting for your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, when you are in danger, a fast thrust to his eyes, but not through them, is highly effective. If you thrust toward someone’s eyes their self preservation instincts kick in and thus they instinctively try to block the attack, they release holds, they jerk their head back, they blink. These reactions leave an Aggressor vulnerable to a follow-up attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;This attack to his eyes is also an attack to his mind.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He will realise what he did not consider before attacking you: that he is also vulnerable, just like you are. If may be enough to change his mind and break off the fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Only attack the eyes when you are in a desperate situation and when you do so, that you have practiced to control your thrust to limit damage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You do not do single or double finger stabs. A fight is volatile with a lot of movement of targets, so to maximize your chances of hitting: you spread your fingers and do a sudden fast stab to the eyes like a pecking hen. You can also rake your fingers across his eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When held, you can simply press your a finger or thumb into the soft region above his eyes to make him let go of you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Nose:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Location: Center of the face, a prominent protrusion easily seen, so well guarded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fighters who are not highly motivated a strike to the nose might end the fight. But boxers can have broken noses and continue fighting. A successful strike to the nose will alarm a bully to the fact that if he continues fighting he can be hurt as he has been hurt. Medically, you cannot kill by ramming soft nose cartilage tissue up into the brain: the skull is too thick; otherwise nearly all boxers would have died.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is an excellent target to strike with a Palm-Heel (Taisho) pushing the head up and back. A diagonal chop across the nose will break it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Philtrum:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The region between the bottom of the nose and the lips.This is an excellent target to strike with a chop (shuto, hiraken) as it will tilt the head back affecting vision area and off-balance him allowing further attacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Striking here and upward does not kill with the nose-bone going into the brain; the skull is too thick and bone cartilage too soft. Any strong strike that rattles the brain is, however, dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The Cheek:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Using the Slap&lt;/u&gt;: Just below the middle of the cheek bone is a nerve point. Dominant males may get slapped across the face as they are physically hurting a woman. They laugh off the slap as useless and may neglect to defend against it. Their ego delighted that the victim’s defence is so feeble. Never underestimate. Psychologically a physically dominant aggressive male tends to allow such a strike; the bearing of it just proves his power.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A slap is a fast movement, which is why it often gets through. But you do not slap with a flat hand. Instead cup your palm and slam it into the centre of his cheek, as you hit turn your body fully and fast into the strike to add the power of mass to the speed. He will be stunned and cheek numbed but he will not clearly know why and that confuses his mind enough to allow you to strike a better area, especially as his head is now turned away so he cannot for a moment see until he turns his head back. When you put your whole body twist into it and your arm loose like a whip: you can knock a man down. The sound of One Hand Clapping.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Using the Thumb&lt;/u&gt;: This point can also be attacked to turn the Aggressor’s head and even move him away when in a clinch, by making a fist and keeping your thumb straight and pressed on your fist to reinforce it. You quickly place your thumb (cuticle) on his cheeks and thrust your thumb tip deep into the middle of his cheek just below his cheek-bone to press the nerve; then you angle your pressing force upward and back inward to press the nerve inside against the inside of the cheek-bone (test this on yourself).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The Chin:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Favourite target of Boxers so is a well known wanted knockout point and so defended. Strike with a Palm Heel from an uppercut close and low up his centre line so it is hard for him to see. Difficult to get to unless you are close in an uppercut position. Opponents who have boxed will have their chin tilted forward and guarded by their hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="https://dissectingsociety.blogspot.com/2019/08/training-jedi-knight-types-lesson-7-red_14.html" target="_blank"&gt;PART V: From the Front (continued, B)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;(Image: Aikido - CrowdInk via Google Images)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;[The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dissecting Society™ . © 2007-2019 Author(s) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

US$4.1 million a year – all the while 2 million Angolans starve in the South of the country.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Angola, under President João Lourenço, is practically a Hezbollah stronghold and an Islamist safe haven (with women in Burkas and Chadors clearly on sight). It is also said that Luanda had the chutzpah to threaten a close US ally in order to “encourage” this country to help Angola justify the unaccounted for US$3Bn to look like it’s paying its debts when in fact the missing funds have been embezzled to fall into the hands of their ME friends. What was the threat? “Help us or the snake will enter your territory”…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;"&gt;Given this scenario it could be said PR companies are aiding and abetting Terrorism.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;If these companies are paid to improve the image of oppressing countries then they are criminal and working against the efforts to counter terrorist acts not only in Africa but everywhere else where they are perpetrated. But there is more…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Somalia and Sudan are not the only Training Camps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;So, Angola threatened a vital US Ally “Help us or the snake will enter your territory”: how can a failed state, like Angola, have the nerve to believe it is in any position to threaten a Regional Power? Here’s how: this country is on track to become a Jihadist training camp and its client is a direct threat to the Regional Power, thus, Luanda believes it has an upper hand. How very naïve…&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Angola became Saddam Hussein’s Iraq: remember when Al-Qaeda trained in Iraqi territory to prepare for the 9/11? Only Saddam did it out of ideology, what’s Angola’s excuse: money? Not so fast. In order to have the answer to this question, we need to look at the man behind the whole show (hint: it’s neither the acting nor the &lt;i&gt;emeritus &lt;/i&gt;president). Whom does he really work for? Why would an Angolan high level civil servant sell his own people and country to foreigners?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;"&gt;The Director of the Office for Psychological Action and Information should be considered a POI.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Moreover, it is also said that Luanda exports military training around Africa (and beyond; word has it that Angolan Servicemen train drug lords in Brazilian Favelas) – but is Hezbollah its only client?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Angola buys weapons and military vessels from (for instance) Germany, France, Spain and Israel: the information is that those weapons are being sold to other clients - Boko Haram, AQIM, ISIS, PFLP and the PCC…which one, or all of the above?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The PCC-Hezbollah-Angola Link&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Hezbollah is in business with the Brazilian crime syndicate PCC and, according to Vanessa Neumann, as soon as Hezbollah wills it: they will take over the PCC.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Name&lt;/b&gt;: PCC (Primeiro Comando da Capital [First Command of the Capital]; 15.3.3 (15th, 3rd, 3rd letters of the Portuguese alphabet)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Founded&lt;/b&gt;: 1993&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Operating Areas&lt;/b&gt;: Brazil, Bordering Countries&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Activities&lt;/b&gt;: Drug Trafficking, Money Laundering, Kidnappings, Human Trafficking, Bribery, Fraud, Extortion, Gambling, Smuggling, Highway Robbery, Prison Breaks and Riots.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leaders&lt;/b&gt;: Marcos Willians Herbas Camacho (aka Marcola); Alexsandro Roberto Pereira (aka Elias or Veio); André Luiz de Oliveira (aka Salim), Willians Marconde Morais (aka Rolex).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;We have already explained &lt;a href="https://dissectingsociety.blogspot.com/2017/04/espirito-santo-bank-tale-of-terrorist.html" target="_blank"&gt;Here &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href="https://dissectingsociety.blogspot.com/2017/08/introduction-to-biggest-counter.html" target="_blank"&gt;Here &lt;/a&gt;how Angola is part of the Money Laundering ring and how the Lebanese/Hezbollah are using the Angolan ruling elites, and citizens, to penetrate Portugal. Therefore, if Hezbollah works with the PCC in Brazil, and it controls Angola (whose citizens have free access to Portugal – the State of Angola sells Angolan and Portuguese Passports to Lebanese elements), it is easy to surmise that soon the PCC will have free access to Europe, through Portugal, and therefore decrease pressure on Hezbollah all the while continuing to fund its Terror Activities.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;If Angola opens a Passport Services Provider in Brazil, the PCC will have access to Portuguese documentation, meaning it will have free access to the United States of America. Many say the PCC can’t operate within American territory given the Mexican and Colombian competition but if they start using Hezbollah’s territory and contacts: the whole scenario changes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;NB&lt;/b&gt;: there is a huge pressure on Hezbollah right now around the world, due to the Iranian situation, so the Party of Allah will find creative ways to survive. Therefore, they may forge an apparent retreat (i.e. remove Lebanese phenotypes from the streets and replace them with other ethnicities linked to their organisation).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Bearing this sketch in mind, picture Luanda, a State that nurtures close ties to Terror Groups, wanting the favour of President Trump (a leader who vowed to work towards the betterment of common people’s lives around the world) for the modest amount of US$4.1Mio&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;Conclusion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;For all of the above, when US companies help countries like Angola they militate against the Government’s efforts to fight Terror (and all the international crimes that fund it); therefore such companies jeopardise National Security Interests and should thus be punished – along with elements within the Secret Services who support such activities.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Recently, US border officers caught a huge group of Africans trying to infiltrate America through the Southern Border: they flew all the way from Africa (from Congo, DRC and Angola) to Brazil, then Mexico just to enter the United States…what exactly for?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;If we put into perspective the close relationship between Angola and Hezbollah (and the so-called snake they threatened with) and the fact that Iran has sleeper cells within American territory waiting to be activated: we have to put this African country, and its allies, on top of the Priority list.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;[The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dissecting Society™ . © 2007-2019 Author(s) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

The mind sees what it wants to see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. Don’t see the human. SEE HIM AS A STEEL ROBOT.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;You then immediately realize that it is futile attacking steel limbs and body. So this type of VIEWING that you deliberately CHOOSE to do: forces the mind to then look for the weak points.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knowing where the weak Atemi Points are on the human body (see below for major ones), you must deliberately project them onto the body in front of you (takes practice).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;2.&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Project Weak Points as GLOWING RED LIGHTS, red dots.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They are the points that you will strike at, plus other weaknesses. Striking just anywhere on the well muscled body of an Aggressor is futile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This mind-set is a FEAR Control. For although you are aware that the enemy is dangerous to you: it is YOU who projects the points on him which are dangerous to him. Levelling somewhat the playing/ fighting field. You may not have the attacker’s immense size, or muscles and cannot compete with him in that way. However, as your eyes are vulnerable, so are his. As your throat is vulnerable, so is his, as your knees are vulnerable, so are his, as your feet are vulnerable, so are his. In basic vital weaknesses you are both the same. For you are both human and humans are vulnerable though they are the most dangerous predators on the planet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;ATEMI POINTS PROMINANT ON THE BODY&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These points are well known on the internet, so martial arts secrets are mostly all exposed.&lt;br /&gt;Some points however when struck, especially if struck in the correct way and with Force: can KILL. These points are DANGEROUS and should never be struck in practice with your practice partners.&lt;br /&gt;This is why, in martial arts schools you train for years, say to your Black Belt, before being taught these advanced points of attack. For after years of coaching, training and supervision, you would be easily able to Pull your strikes that are on target.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So you practice a lot of attacks for accuracy to a target, but Pulled at the last instant. Some schools practice with the partners too far away to hit through a target, which does not help if the same is done in the street. To avoid that unfortunate consequence of safe training for accuracy but which only touch a surface at best: you must also practice your strikes, not stopped, but full power not on a target but through a target -- except your direction is offset and goes passed your partner without touching them, for you to get the feel of the real thing without de-accelerating and without hitting. These two forms of safe training, you can easily merge into one in the street and so hit accurately a target with full driving force all the way through the body. Proper hitting accurately with force is trained in arts like Boxing, where you also get used to the feel of getting hit and that kind of training is important in combat. Unfortunately with such training there is always damage, damage can be cumulative and non-repairable, especially if the brain is repeatedly rattled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Power blows should be practiced on bags. Also full speed can be practiced on bags as the bags will stop the limb and prevent any damaging hyperextension. Thus you NEVER strike at a partner full speed (you can full power but slower) as when you do not hit something (partner should of course avoid the strike) you can hyperextend your leg or arm and damage the knee or elbow. Kata should be done say 75 % of your maximum speed to prevent damage. Never fully straighten your arm or leg into the air, but you can nearly do so when hitting a target. Keep a slight bend for safety.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The main Atemi Points are suitable for Close Quarter Combat; the many others are only for professionals who know how to find them. These main Atemi Points are no longer secret but are now fairly common knowledge. Therefore, what warriors NEED to know, when they already know the points: Is what points can Kill and what points can damage. In order to make the instant decision in an emotionally charged fight and meet a citizens legal obligations: a warrior needs to be TAUGHT and fully know what is a Killing attack on him/her and what is NOT a killing attack and so lesser measures can be used. It must be firmly said and taught that any blow to anyone might kill them depending on factors Not known to you such as their health level; a later stroke from a blood clot; drugs; a weak heart; a fall on a hard object.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Atemi Points are very useful in off balancing the body and in distracting the mind. Of lesser use is their value in damaging your opponent. Of even lesser use is their value in killing an opponent. When an opponent is dead he has no more value, and neither then would you if a court finds you guilty of using force that it thinks is excessive to the danger level of the fight. You do not fight to go to jail, you fight to lessen the opponent’s violence and you fight, if need be, to survive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Atemi points can be better shown in diagrams on the Internet and even better from a qualified Martial Arts instructor. However, I will describe them in general:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;FROM THE FRONT:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The very Top of the Head:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a KILL point so not to be struck hard unless you are in the physical process of being killed by your attacker. A very hard blow smashed down on the head can kill as the brain, bouncing inside of the skull, gets raked across the bony protuberances that lie along the inside base of the skull.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The Temple:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a KILL point so not to be struck hard unless you are in the physical process of being killed by your attacker. A blow to the temple can render your Attacker unconscious; but a hard blow can easily kill. The bone protecting the brain is very thin in the Temple Area. A hard strike can damage the blood vessels inside and their bleeding would kill. Stopping the bleeding would require hospital surgery, but there would not usually be enough time to get that help. Thus a blow to the Temple with a Backfist, or knuckle is only for Life or Death situations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #134f5c;"&gt;•&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The Ears:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If attacking the ears you should slap both of them at the same time. Not just one. Here shows up the principle of JuJutsu: Of moving in the direction of any Force to lessen its impact. Slap one ear and the head moves with it: lessening the impact (actors in movies roll with a punch to avoid harm; as do Boxers). So your attack needs to be a double simultaneous strike. How to deliver that when the Aggressor can so easily block your arms? You attack his ears when you are inside his arms or his arms are down; such as when he strikes low or uses his hands to grab your body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You cup your palm and slam it into the ear with an instant flattening of the palm to force the cupped air into the ear canal. The effect can be stunning and the Aggressor also loses his balance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="https://dissectingsociety.blogspot.com/2019/08/training-jedi-knight-types-lesson-7-red_85.html" target="_blank"&gt;PART IV: From The Front (Continued)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;(Image: Zanshin[Ed] via Google Images)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;[The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dissecting Society™ . © 2007-2019 Author(s) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

His arms are like tree trunks. Doing a strong block against such arms is futile as their greater force will ram through. The same against a Karateka who can kick with such force as to break your forearm if you are foolish enough to try to meet the force of his leg with the blocking force of your arm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;MIND SET&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Against the Force you do not hard block as that is clashing with it and only damaging to you or to your balance. You either deflect the Force or you avoid it altogether.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your attacker is human but powerful, so: Visualize him as a steel robot. You do not bash on a steel robot. You avoid its steel limbs, for your mind knows that if your body attacks such steel it will be damaged and lose. This visualization makes the mind far more aware of the danger, faster to avoid the power and ready to do something else than clash with a tank. All mechanical metal mechanisms though have weaknesses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;Just as the human body, no matter how strong, has weaknesses. Weaknesses such as the joints and energy pathways.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are all robots in a sense, as we are all mechanical constructs. Chemicals are mechanical and we are electro chemical creatures. Robots have a computer and we have our brain; both are susceptible to viruses whether those viruses are constructed for one out of computer code, or for the other out of DNA (which is just a spiralled code of instructions). A robot is a dry computer while we utilize a wet computer. Our limbs are our levers and our nerves are, in a robot, its wiring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where such wiring, carrying instructions, rises to the robot body surface, it is therefore vulnerable to attack and a stoppage of electro-pulses and thus a stoppage of limb/body control. The same for the human body. These points are called Atemi Points and are utilized in Pressure Point Fighting. They are similar (but not all exactly) to the points on the body used by Acupuncture in healing. There are many points but only some are easily found in a scuffle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;In boxing type fighting they are hardly used at all for the limbs are moving. In wrestling/ JuJutsu type fighting when there is body/limb contact and a body part can be stationary, its Atemi points, which are not very large areas, can be found and attacked.

Also from tales of the great Heroes both ancient and modern; and from the use of the mind by Ulysses to overcome the strength of the Cyclopes; the use of detailed pre-planning by Napoleon to win battles before they were thought of by the enemy; and so on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;Your mind is your greatest weapon – but only if you use it. Outwitting the enemy, if you can, by using your mind is a lot more efficient than only trying to win when in the chaos of battle.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inspiration may also come from movies and stories that draw from martial combat, ancient combat philosophies and sometimes paranormal mind usages. What is a Jedi but a future warrior learned in combat and awakened in mind? Though Star Wars is fiction, it is Science Fiction, and we are continually entering the Science Fiction realm until it becomes our own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;We are already living in a world that only a century ago was classified as fantasy, as Science Fiction and unattainable.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The difficulties met with other cultures amongst the stars mirrors the same difficulties we have on Earth. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;What we learn in future imaginings we can apply here and now, and what we know from battle arts here from now and from our past, we can apply when we roam the stars. As beginners, new learners, such as children, lacking experience of a mundane life do not know what is and what is not possible and so can sometimes penetrate the barriers that other adult minds, locked in a Status Quo, set up as mental blocks. The mind needs freedom to conquer the unknown. The gifts that children have seem to fade away as they grow older. Their magical world overwritten, their magical spell drowned out in the blare of modern adult society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;This course is mainly to teach what you see in the Science fiction movies: Mind Controls.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jedi Knight Types, for combating bullies/muggers/abductors/killers, of course do need to learn combat waza (techniques). So they are included and teach a lot. But techniques alone do not win fights. Waza needs the advantages of strategies and mind controls, different ways of thinking. You can read the world in different ways; your eyes are not the only view. The world presents many patterns, but then so can your mind. It is the mind’s matching and blending of its patterns to those of Nature, the realm of the physical world, that leads to intelligent results, understandings, opportunities and so to advantages. The mind is an immensity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;You lose control of your mind when its gets overtaken by Fear or excessive emotions. You regain control over your mind by using your mind in deliberate ways.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;EXERCISES to assist Learning and Doing the Waza&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;a)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Practice looking at any object and mentally expanding its size until it fills your vision, then shrinking it back to its real size. You do the Changing, you Control the Vision and the Interpretation of it. An Aggressor tries to loom over and dominate your mind. Don’t allow that by you being the first who mentally changes their size and back again, so you know that you can control what you see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394;"&gt;b)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Any person in any shape of body and form, imprint red glowing dots on them, only the vital target points that you can see on them. Imagine sweeping aside their impeding obstacle of an arm and thrusting a strike THROUGH a red dot with an arm or a kick.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="https://dissectingsociety.blogspot.com/2019/08/training-jedi-knight-types-lesson-7-red_9.html" target="_blank"&gt;PART II: Quotes for Discussion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;(Image: Power of Mind[Ed] via Google Images)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;[The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dissecting Society™ . © 2007-2019 Author(s) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

These fools are being applauded for it too. They are racist, bigoted, idiotic creatures, upholding nonsensical positions, defending failed policies and yet they are supposed to be an example of “brilliant women of colour” – have people lost their mind? When did the masses re-start applauding racist individuals? We thought it had been over with Hitler (Yimach Shemo).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Then these sub-par females accuse President Trump of being racist: laughable when we think that these ladies hate Jews to the core, simply because they are Jews. They may even hate white people, for all we know. And POTUS is the racist one?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Ladies and gentlemen, the Squad is following Lenin's strategy “our tactics: absolute distrust!” First, he generated distrust among the masses (towards the Provisional Government, after the fall of Emperor Nicholas II), then he organised a coup d’état when those masses didn’t vote for his stupid ideas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Whoever is behind the Squad may be planning something similar for the US, when they realise that America is not falling for their stupidity.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Environmental Squad&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;There is this group of people lecturing the world about Climate Change and labelling everyone who disputes their ideas as ignorant. There is even a certain British Prince now telling us, in the middle of a birth rate crisis, that having more than two children hurts the Planet. Seriously, after being applauded for bringing diversity into the Royal Family, HRH decided to become &lt;i&gt;“une espèce d’abruti”&lt;/i&gt;. It seems like the British Royal Family needs to be inoculated against the Socialist Bug.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;"&gt;The Duchess of Sussex’s subversive behaviour shall be addressed after she finishes breastfeeding her son.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Italy saw 114 private planes arriving to Sicily carrying creatures to attend a Google Camp on Climate Change…enough said. “Meeting of the Minds” they called it: laughable. Question: what was President Obama doing there in the middle of such mental promiscuity? He is obviously confused about his place in society – it is so disappointing to have to admit that his critics were right about him, in spite of being wrong about the way they voiced their opinion of him. Nevertheless, their instinct was right.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Anti-Sovereignty Squad&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Contemporary Leftists are more ridiculous than past ones because early leftists were intellectual idealists with whom you could debate with. The contemporary version lacks knowledge and culture; it hates everything and works with convenient soundbites taken out of context to defend its unclear positions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: left;"&gt;The New Left is ultra-radical and as violent as a dog with rabies.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;These folks attack Donald Trump in a worse way than the Tea Party attacked Barack Obama, because at least President Trump’s policies are creating jobs for everyone (from all ethnic backgrounds and all social strata) not just for some; at least the Trump Administration knows what’s right for all Americans not just for the elites – this administration’s agenda is the well-being of the People. And that’s why they hate the 45th President of the United States of America.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;These folks attack Jair Bolsonaro because he’s showing that Brazil was ill managed and abused by Lula and his ilk. President Bolsonaro is putting the Military (the only trustworthy Brazilian institution) to work hard to better the lives of the Brazilian People, not just the bribing elites. A certain far-leftist lassie, in Portugal, even pretended to speak on behalf of the entire country when she said that President Bolsonaro is not welcome to Portugal. Well, Mariana Mortágua, you don’t speak for the whole country, you certainly do not speak for me: Portugal has a lot to learn from Jair Bolsonaro’s administration.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Even Boris Johnson was attacked by leftists as being racist (the man is nothing of the sort), sexist (right), xenophobic (for supporting Brexit), ignorant (I wish today’s left wingers were a tad as “ignorant” as he is) and all over the place…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;In sum, if you defend the Sovereignty of your country, if you are against Globalism, if you abide by Principled Realism, you will be called all the names in the Marxist Dictionary. We have to wonder whether this is what they agreed upon at Google Summer Camp…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;The Race Squad&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;The Left promotes policies to keep Black people, and other minorities, down. It’s a fact. The only time they share the spotlight with a Black person, or a Mulatto (who was brainwashed into thinking he is also black), is to have them accuse the white people of being racist till this very day. You don’t see them promoting policies to advance minorities: a good example of it is the Quotas system (a fancy term for Affirmative Action) which only brews more distrust and hatred towards minorities – and that’s the Leninist tactics, isn’t it? That way, minorities are fooled into thinking they are loved by the Left while being kept on a leash by leftists…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusion&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;In today’s world, a Leftist is a shackled repetitive Sheep afraid of being excluded from the herd and, therefore, a turn off. Being an enlightened Neo-Rightist is being a Free and Independent Mind; thus, an intellectual orgasm.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;(Image: Lenin[Ed] via Google Images)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;[The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dissecting Society™ . © 2007-2019 Author(s) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

This has to be frustrating to the government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;The region has two distinct markers that could highlight both the rationale for the attacks and a possible reason for Mozambique to receive assistance from several major geopolitical actors to resolve the situation.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;"&gt;The Obvious Factors&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cabo Delgado currently has a substantial Muslim Population. This means in the eyes of some this is fertile ground to recruit new fighters or even to possibly relocate to in an effort to continue operations against Western interests in East Africa. The relocation theory has been the most promoted considering recent events in Somalia. There have also been some anecdotal reports that some of the insurgents have also spoken French.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;&lt;a href="https://jamestown.org/program/briefs-310/" target="_blank"&gt;Current documentation&lt;/a&gt; suggests a link to groups based in the Eastern DRC and the insurgents in Mozambique.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There has been some pushback regarding whether or not these groups are domestic in nature or have actually joined the &lt;a href="https://www.thenational.ae/world/africa/isis-makes-first-claim-of-mozambique-presence-1.870775" target="_blank"&gt;Islamic State&lt;/a&gt; as it searches for a new location for the physical caliphate. Regardless the location they originate from &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;they have proven successful in frustrating the current leadership in Maputo.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cabo Delgado is the home of several large blocs of Natural Gas. Some of these fields are controlled by Indian Energy Companies and others by China. Access to these fields could deprive Maputo of badly needed revenue and cause some demonstrators to hold rallies and chant no war for Gas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That being said the main question is: &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;does the Armed Forces of Mozambique have currently the capacity to conduct a major operation in Cabo Delgado that could defeat the insurgency and restore peace and tranquillity to the north? &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Conventional Wisdom suggests that the Military does not have this capacity at this time and will need assistance from a major Geopolitical Actor to improve their capacity to launch such an operation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #274e13; font-size: large;"&gt;Conclusion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are several concerns regarding any assistance. Whichever nation provides Mozambique with the proper assistance to improve its Military will be accused of only doing this just for access to the abundant Natural Gas. There is no way around this narrative and probably no use in debunking it either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Stability in Mozambique should be the major concern to ensure that the issues do not spill over into Tanzania.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; Issues in Mozambique will also affect two other struggling countries in Southern Africa. They are Zimbabwe and Malawi. Both countries rely heavily on the Port of Beira for most of their International Trade. If the port or even the Railroad running north from the city is cut then both nations could suffer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;[The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dissecting Society™ . © 2007-2019 Author(s) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Dissecting Society will pause for a month, meaning we will be back in August with more enticing discussions. But before we go, let’s make a brief political summary of the past 6 months:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Angela Merkel may be suffering from a Neurological illness. The German Government has been denying any ailment, but so far the Chancellor has trembled in public events twice and this can no longer be ignored - we may be before a new threat to political leaders (who would stand to benefit from this sort of attack?).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;President Trump’s approval ratings have been climbing and apparently that rise is due to an increased support coming from the Democrat side (according to CNN’s “Trump is more popular than ever before”). Why? Because his economic formula works: people are back to work and with good wages too. And this is why Goldman Sachs predicts a 2020 win for POTUS. Trump is good for business – saying otherwise is intellectually dishonest.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Europe is in decline and green with envy of the United States of America. European “Pundits”, from all countries, repeat the same mantra “Trump is the most dangerous man in the world” but this only reflects their fear and anxiety about real change – a change Obama was incapable of delivering.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;China’s rise is in peril. The Plan must proceed until the Red Dragon is contained.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Russia is truly advised to re-think her strategy and work with the US, instead of working against America. It should also avoid meddling with Israel, as it’s not advisable to arouse the ire of the 7 Soldiers.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Brazil must resist the smear campaigns prepared by the International Socialist Organisation. Glenn Greenwald also has glass ceilings, so he is advised to stop harassing the Bolsonaro Administration – a rebel with a nefarious and obsolete cause is so &lt;i&gt;déclassé&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Israel didn’t heed our &lt;a href="https://dissectingsociety.blogspot.com/2018/11/israel-its-not-time-for-snap-elections.html" target="_blank"&gt;advice &lt;/a&gt;– &lt;i&gt;Baruch Dayan HaEmet&lt;/i&gt;. The Kabbalists are saying that even the next elections will fail to form a Government. “In the multitude of counsellors there is safety” (Proverbs 11:14) but there’s no safety in the mixed multitude.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;India re-elected PM Narendra Modi as an indication that the people recognises a good leader when they have one who actually works to better their lives and not his own.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Michelle Obama learned nothing from previous First Ladies and never misses a chance to have 15 minutes of fame – it’s unbecoming and she should learn the meaning of Reserve.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The UK is one step closer to Brexit. This represents a huge opportunity for Her Majesty’s Government particularly if it changes its Foreign Policy regarding the Middle East – of course this would imply a huge clean-up from Top to Bottom; is the next Premier strong enough to do it?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Uganda is becoming a target. Someone wants to destabilise the country; the question is: is it to depose Museveni only or to take the country back to being an Islamic State?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The world is getting interesting…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See you all in August.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;(Image: Bazaruto, Mozambique[Ed] via Google Images)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;[The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dissecting Society™ . © 2007-2019 Author(s) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

When it comes to the TNC (Transitional National Council) in Sudan, the above mentioned line is very à propos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To briefly recap the situation on the ground, after several months of protests inspired by the government increasing the tax on bread and other controversial moves, &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;the Sudanese Armed Forces removed Omar Al-Bashir from power.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; There has currently been, not one but, two Military Councils in power preparing the way to return power to civilian authorities in Khartoum. The proposed pace of change is not considered to be quick enough by the protestors that are still out on the streets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;The current leader of the TNC in Sudan is General Hemedti - the commander of the Janjaweed Militias.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His name should be on the proverbial tip of the tongue of most Intel Analysts.&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;You remember the Janjaweed: the ones that committed Genocide in Darfur, &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;Provided Fighters for Seleka when they ousted the Government of the Central African Republic and unleashed Hell on that impoverished nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Sudanese Military appears to be taking one play from the efforts of former President Bashir. They are concerned about their image in the United States and appear to be pulling out the stops to be seen in a positive light here in Washington.&amp;nbsp; We should remember how Khartoum hired SPB Global to represent them when the Obama Administration began the process of gradually lifting sanctions against the country, so the Military had to think "how can we advance this process?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recent filings with the US Justice Department show that the TNC has retained the services of a Canadian Firm Dickson &amp;amp; Madson to represent them here in Washington. The stated goal of this contract is to lobby both the Executive and Legislative Branches of the US Government and the&amp;nbsp; agencies to support the TNC as it prepares to return the reins of Government to Civilian Authorities. This seems simple and straightforward enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there is some controversy as well. Recently social media outlets were showing images of a former member of the United States Congress&lt;b&gt; James Moran - a Democrat &lt;/b&gt;from the Commonwealth of Virginia - speaking at a rally in Khartoum. During this speech, he &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;espoused the values of General Hemedti as a strong leader &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;and stated that Sudan does need security to deal with emerging regional issues. Notwithstanding, his appearance has drawn consternation from Sudanese Diaspora living here in the United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly, palms were greased on some level&amp;nbsp; in order to get Mr. Moran to change his position. There was a protest in Washington at the Sudanese Embassy to protest the Darfur Genocide. There was an image taken of Mr. Moran being arrested with George Clooney.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;Isn’t it interesting to see how time flies? Or how people can be bought and sold on a whim?&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It does make one wonder how long it will be for people to start asking how long it will be before the call for investigations under the Hatch act will be made?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444;"&gt;(Image: Flying Sudan Flag[Ed] - Google Images)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;[The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of Dissecting Society™ . © 2007-2019 Author(s) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED]&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

The whole world is banging its head against the wall and, in unison, they insult the President of the United States of America, the President of Brazil, the Prime-Minister of Italy and the Prime-Minister of Hungary. These gentlemen presented themselves before the people of their respective countries and won the elections; so, with what right does the world completely dismiss the votes of those who elected a candidate that was not selected by IS?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name='more'&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Left’s stupidity is so crass that they don’t mind stirring emotions and wreaking havoc in nations with baseless allegations: the leftist criminals are transformed into martyrs, and the illegal violation of private life is applauded. The Left doesn’t seek the G Spot, it simply tears the insides of the Law: anything goes in exchange for cheap gratification.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My dear readers, no one needs to belong to any “club of thinkers” to reflect about the world surrounding him/her. After hearing the experts in fiscal extortion, and their representatives/supporters, I started thinking about the hypocrisy of the Left; and then I identified its Seven Capital Sins:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sin #1: Encouraging Liberation Movements to adopt Marxism-Leninism-Maoism&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Liberation Movements in Africa – without any experience in governance, no experience whatsoever in the Popular psychology, in their way of thinking and feeling – were forced to adopt a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist ideology that was fatal to the African Peoples. The sponsors of such an enterprise (Russia, China and the International Socialist) induced African Leaders to work towards total destruction of their countries, to never again leave the vicious cycle of the Vile Revolution – which plundered all Human Dignity from the Continent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote class="tr_bq"&gt;Ex: Human Development in African States belonging to the PALOP&amp;nbsp; (African countries whose official language is Portuguese), for over 40 years, is still a mirage and people are still miserable without any perspective in life.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What was this whole exercise for? Of course, certain countries and the consortium (together with the heads of the pack created by the Liberation Movements) were the sole ones to benefit from the rotten deal rooted on corrosive corruption, on the elimination of opponents, on oppression and repression of whomever dared to think; and so I ask: what was the purpose of the animalisation of the peoples of Africa?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sin #2: Using the Castro to serve as Watchdogs in the African Socialist Regimes&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The very same people that were heading these experiments (with real people, of flesh and blood) paid the Castro Brothers to proceed with the Cuban torture and ordered Cuba to be the watch dog in Angola, Mozambique, Ethiopia and Zambia. Even though some of the Cubans sent to Africa were doctors and engineers, the locals pitied them and considered them inferior beings (as they starved more than Africans). The countries that hosted these Caribbean Collaborators paid their wages to Cuba; in other words, they removed the &lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mielie-meal" target="_blank"&gt;Mielie-Meal&lt;/a&gt; from African children’s mouth to fill the pockets of the Castro Brothers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sin #3: Permission to spread the so-called Bolivar Revolution in Latin America&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since in Africa things weren’t exciting enough, the bosses of the New World Vision aroused even greater excitements in Latin-America, sponsoring thus blood-shedding movements in El Salvador, Colombia, Nicaragua, having in some cases caused the death of political leaders like Allende (in Chile) and in other cases caused the rise of fascist regimes – Pinochet in Chile and Videla in Argentina. We just can’t pin point the exact reason why they decided to destroy Venezuela through the hand of the leftist fascist: Maduro, the Plump.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sin #4: Imposing Suffering/Slaughter en Masse on Populations under Marxist Regimes&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why treat human beings as animals waiting to be slaughtered at the abattoir? What’s the purpose of systematically causing the useless death of people? Who is profiting from the misery in Venezuela? Do the Russian loans, made to the Maduro regime, really justify this torture? If Putin is so deplorable, why hasn’t he finished off Maduro and his generals (who squandered the money)? Or is there something more insidious beneath it all?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;Sin #5: Globalism, Multilateralism and Universal Government&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am told that the leftist sophistry bears a purpose: global government. Oh really? My dear leftists, it won’t work; so, please, learn the due lessons from your micro-universes in China, Russia, India, Africa and South America. The mind is tricky, it thinks and drinks, it accepts and rejects: the mind is its own master and it doesn’t accept to be commanded by an eternal father-State that is more stupid than anything you can think of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Globalism was a means of indebting countries even more. Why the hell is Portugal consuming runner beans from Morocco, grapes from Chile, melons in January (coming from only G-d knows where)? And now they want to charge another tax on the environment? With all due respect: sod off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sin #6: Leftism in Europe Based on Hitler’s Ideas&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hitler (Yimach Shemo) said he would improve Marx’s socialism by using capitalism to his advantage. Therefore, the European Leftists, while subjecting other peoples to pure communism, implement a caviar-socialism at home. Who pays for the Welfare? Capitalists. Who fattens the Leftist Politicians? The Bourgeoisie. Who sponsors the corruption of the Left? The Rich.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0b5394; font-size: large;"&gt;Sin #7: Always Blame Someone Else (the Right?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;The Debt is up? &lt;/b&gt;It’s the previous government’s fault.&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;But, gentlemen, you are at the end of your mandate, do you think it wise to still blame the previous administration?&lt;/b&gt; Of course, it’s ripple effects of the previous government’s policies.&lt;br /&gt;- &lt;b&gt;The Deficit is low, is it because of the policies created by the previous government? &lt;/b&gt;Certainly NOT!

I will not allow 5% of the world population (LGBT or whatever) to take over Institutions to brainwash our children.
