The number of outdoor out-of-control fires set by arsonists worldwide could lead you to believe that there was a coordinated global eco-terrorist strategy to forcefully advance a false agenda about climate change. Man-made, sure, by arsonists.

Greece Set to Fine Unvaccinated While Austria Plans to Imprison Them
When you give COVID-Karens power, they abuse it. Sure, you can argue that many of them were in these offices before COVID. How were we to know? You can’t, but everything is a test, and when they fail, YOU need to replace them. Take Greece.
Anti Vaxx-Passport and COVID Policy Protests Continue Around the World — Under-Reported
One of the more under-reported or un-reported news items of the past several weeks is the anti-covid policy and anti-vaccine passport protests. We touched on them here, but you won’t find much in the way of in-depth reporting or even a mention outside social media (where permitted).
Will Greece and Turkey Go to War Again?
Greece is adding more military personnel and by developing the country’s defense industry. That is per a government statement last Monday. There is a tense standoff with Turkey that has led to concerns of open conflict between the two countries.
Is the Caliphate Instigating Conflict?
Last Monday Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was characterizing Greece’s forces as “dilapidated.” He is calling on Athens to seek a dialogue with Turkey. He is also criticizing the EU. The EU is backing EU member Greece in the dispute.
So we should wait UNTIL we’re like Greece?
And Rep. Abrami thinks I’m delusional. From this morning’s Concord Fish Wrap:
Quotes worthy of note….
“Michael Tanner of the Cato Institute calculates that Greece owes 875 percent of GDP for unfunded liabilities; the United States owes 911 percent, or almost twice as much as France at 549 percent.” —Mark Steyn Are we broke?
The End of the Beginning of the End
When not caused by war, nations decay slowly and gradually (e.g., modern day France, Italy, Spain, Greece etc.).
Alas, now, it seems ours is no different. Its exceptionalism is dissolving into the ordinary. It’s a choice made by the people. They fore-go liberty and self subjugate themselves under ruling political and administrative classes of which they’ll never be a part. They’ll never rise to those classes because they’re taught apathy, complacency, and their place since birth. They are relieved of the burdensome onus of everyday decisions. Decisions that were proudly made by preceding generations that were not a bother or an onus at all to them. To them, it was life. Deciding what to do, how to live, and how to be was essential and culminated in traditions, virtues, and mores.
That became too onerous for the generations that followed, they blithely go about taking direction and surrendering thinking and creativity to others in the elite political classes.
Paul Krugman on Greece: It’s Europe’s Fault!
“Blessed are the young for they shall inherit the national debt.” —Herbert Hoover
Paul Krugman over at the New York Times is an unapologetic Statist, Keynesian and Progressive liberal who does well to technicratically argue for strong centralized governments in the area of economics. Krugman is an ardent advocate for income redistribution through governmental means (by force) and a closet anti-capitalist. In plain words, “A Marxist.” Chances are you already knew that about Paul Krugman, but hey…I just like to point it out. Call it my way of yet again putting my thumb into the eye of the rank and file Kool-Aid drinkers out there in liberal land.
Son of Greece?
I guess that would make Illinois a close kissing cousin? (H/T: NetRightDaily)
Greece To Leave EuroZone June 18
That’s the headline. And some folks sound happy to see the freeloaders gone. “The basic question is that a German has to increase working from 65 to 67 and that is to pay for Greeks retiring at 50. The 17th of June is the perfect opportunity to say either ‘we’ll behave’ or ‘we’ll carry on … Read more
Maybe the House Got the Message
Perhaps the House of Representatives did get the message from last November‘s election and from polls indicating that Americans are serious about cutting deficit spending. On Tuesday, in a bi-partisan vote (82 Democrats, 236 Republicans) the House overwhelmingly rejected President Obama’s request to unconditionally increase the debt ceiling. Only 97 Democrats voted to continue reckless spending.
Despite alarmist claims about not raising the debt ceiling, the Secretary of the Treasury can dispense its approximately $2 trillion revenues on a priority basis. Our country need not default on our debt or fail to pay the military, seniors, the poor, or other critical obligations UNLESS OBAMA’s administration CHOOSES NOT TO MAKE THOSE PAYMENTS.
