The Fall Of America. Solidifying The Ongoing Jihad. by bolaino(m): 5:58am On Jun 27, 2015
The World is changing, and as the wind of change is blowing, around the world, so is the wind of Destruction also blowing, Blowing away everything in it's path, Nature is Fighting Mankind, likewise The Metaphysical world, but I would rather Die, Than be gay, or be forced to be gay, I would kill myself a million times over, than watch my little African children become Gay, America must fall. It is a must. A Must. Posterity will judge me for what I am saying, but I envisage the Day that America is Ruined, both financially, Economically, and Otherwise, America is at it's end, and the sooner Black people in America start leaving. The better for Them. Because mankind will not be able to comprehend the things that will happen to the United states in the coming years. Mark my words. I have really come to Loathe the CIA, and any CIA operative in Nigeria is in danger, both the Ones in the Lagos Embassy and and the Ones in the Embassy in Abuja, I have Information on Directorate Of Operations (DO) officers in Lagos and Abuja. And Targeting officers, I have had these and many more information, even before The chinese started giving us for free. Your details are everywhere. For the sake of your Lives Leave Nigeria. To be forewarned is to Be Forearmed.

The Only way White Americans can Move Freely in Nigeria, is when They are Carrying Carbine Rifles, and that would mean they are Jarheads, and If Jarheads are walking the streets of Nigeria, then..................

Come, Mr. Man, take your bomb to your village and leave America alone.

Good leadership entails allowing the people to choose the life they want to live. If millions of Americans want to be gay, why will a sane government ban them from doing that?

It's democracy and people's demand comes first.

Obama is married to a woman so also the high court Judges but that won't make their personal moral stands come first before the interest of the masses they are serving.

So enough of this nonsense. undecided

you are seeing it from a different perspective, and in the Truth of That perspective you are right, BUT, on the Flipside, the US is a World power, and it's culture influences the cultures of developing countries like Nigeria and Others, so in essence The US should lead by example. And they should lead by giving good examples, and this Gay thing is a bad example.

My brother, as Africans, our forefathers forbade and our culture forbids gay but that doesn't mean others do.

One of the most beautiful concept in this life is choice. I have the choice to determine how I live my life as long as it does not harm my neighbours. And one of the ugliest nature of humankind is hate. Hate under any disguise can destroy what took thousands of years to build. I am a christian and I do know that homosexuality is a sin, but so is stealing, fornication, adultery, etc. In our thinking, they may not be the same but before God sin is sin, punishable with the same measure. So according to my bible, all sinners- gays, thieves, adulterers, etc will go to hell. My take on this issue of homosexuality is that let God be the judge of all. When we begin to judge them and allow hate to rule, we begin to destroy ourselves. We are all humans before we are white, black, gay, straight, Yoruba, Ibo. If America chooses today to allow them to get married, that is their business and it does not in anyway affect the pump price of petrol.

I do not support homosexuality but I support their right to life, freedom of association, etc.

You are a non Interferist, that is you would rather not interfere in the affairs of others, and that is Noble, but the world in truth now is no longer Noble, and And any Form of Nobility is frowned upon, that is why Choices should always be guided, that is why we do not give total freedom to Infants and children, because they might seem to know what is good for them, but in reality they do not know what is good for them hence the role of the Parent or guardian, to guide the choices and decisions of The Infants or children.

okay, let's look at it this way, In Nigeria Homosexuality is a crime, and the police are mandated by Law to arrest homosexuals, but now in The US a Nigerian Ally Nation has a contradicting law, that even permits homosexuals to even marry, so imagine if an American Gay man comes to Nigeria to engage in Sodomy, and is caught and arrested by the police, would that not be a case of Diplomatic scandal?

If we catch an American doing it in Nigerian soil, he will face the Nigerian law and it will be cluelessness on the part of Nigerian state if we let him go free based on sentiments.

That america would fall is not a debate any more, with arguments, They have been falling for a while now, It was because of our greed and love for material gains which are of no use that kept and keeping blinding us from the truth. The fall is on a rough slope because of the Black people there whose indecencies and crimes are derivative. It is now time for them the Blacks there and here or whereever to pick a place. After which the rocks on the slope would be removed, the free fast fall would commence.

I have never met gays before, or maybe i have but I didn't know, I once just saw two white dudes kissing afar, it was the most disgusting thing and shock I have ever experienced. I thought Black Men would never do such, But to my greatest surprise they copied the filth, that is why i always say Black people have no sins, not a single one. All of it are all derivative.

Suffice to say, Their are some who are said to have the genes(we all know where such genes would have come from). Thus, I am not in anyway discriminating and I quote "Men who don't feel arousal towards the Women, or vice versa", If that is the case, then simply be a brother priest or a sister priest, control yourself. Everybody on this planet has his/her own vice that MUST be overcome.

We have CIA in all the embassies(the western world especially), but those can't do much harm, The worst are their puppets who sleep regularly in the embassies(our government officials and elites).

*TRUMP KILLS IRAN’S MOST OVERRATED WARRIOR*
..........
Suleimani pushed his country to build an empire, but drove it into the ground instead.
..........
By Thomas L. Friedman, Columnist, New York Times (January 03, 2020)
..........

One day they may name a street after President Trump in Tehran. Why? Because Trump just ordered the assassination of possibly the dumbest man in Iran and the most overrated strategist in the Middle East: Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani.
Think of the miscalculations this guy made. In 2015, the United States and the major European powers agreed to lift virtually all their sanctions on Iran, many dating back to 1979, in return for Iran halting its nuclear weapons program for a mere 15 years, but still maintaining the right to have a peaceful nuclear program. It was a great deal for Iran. Its economy grew by over 12 percent the next year. And what did Suleimani do with that windfall?

He and Iran’s supreme leader launched an aggressive regional imperial project that made Iran and its proxies the de facto controlling power in Beirut, Damascus, Baghdad and Sana. This freaked out U.S. allies in the Sunni Arab world and Israel — and they pressed the Trump administration to respond. Trump himself was eager to tear up any treaty forged by President Obama, so he exited the nuclear deal and imposed oil sanctions on Iran that have now shrunk the Iranian economy by almost 10 percent and sent unemployment over 16 percent.

All that for the pleasure of saying that Tehran can call the shots in Beirut, Damascus, Baghdad and Sana. What exactly was second prize?

With the Tehran regime severely deprived of funds, the ayatollahs had to raise gasoline prices at home, triggering massive domestic protests. That required a harsh crackdown by Iran’s clerics against their own people that left thousands jailed and killed, further weakening the legitimacy of the regime.
Then Mr. “Military Genius” Suleimani decided that, having propped up the regime of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria, and helping to kill 500,000 Syrians in the process, he would overreach again and try to put direct pressure on Israel. He would do this by trying to transfer precision-guided rockets from Iran to Iranian proxy forces in Lebanon and Syria.

Alas, Suleimani discovered that fighting Israel — specifically, its combined air force, special forces, intelligence and cyber — is not like fighting the Nusra front or the Islamic State. The Israelis hit back hard, sending a whole bunch of Iranians home from Syria in caskets and hammering their proxies as far away as Western Iraq.
Indeed, Israeli intelligence had so penetrated Suleimani’s Quds Force and its proxies that Suleimani would land a plane with precision munitions in Syria at 5 p.m., and the Israeli air force would blow it up by 5:30 p.m. Suleimani’s men were like fish in a barrel. If Iran had a free press and a real parliament, he would have been fired for colossal mismanagement.

But it gets better, or actually worse, for Suleimani. Many of his obituaries say that he led the fight against the Islamic State in Iraq, in tacit alliance with America. Well, that’s true. But what they omit is that Suleimani’s, and Iran’s, overreaching in Iraq helped to produce the Islamic State in the first place.

It was Suleimani and his Quds Force pals who pushed Iraq’s Shiite prime minister, Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, to push Sunnis out of the Iraqi government and army, stop paying salaries to Sunni soldiers, kill and arrest large numbers of peaceful Sunni protesters and generally turn Iraq into a Shiite-dominated sectarian state. The Islamic State was the counterreaction.

Finally, it was Suleimani’s project of making Iran the imperial power in the Middle East that turned Iran into the most hated power in the Middle East for many of the young, rising pro-democracy forces — both Sunnis and Shiites — in Lebanon, Syria and Iraq.

As the Iranian-American scholar Ray Takeyh pointed out in a wise essay in Politico, in recent years “Soleimani began expanding Iran’s imperial frontiers. For the first time in its history, Iran became a true regional power, stretching its influence from the banks of the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf. Soleimani understood that Persians would not be willing to die in distant battlefields for the sake of Arabs, so he focused on recruiting Arabs and Afghans as an auxiliary force. He often boasted that he could create a militia in little time and deploy it against Iran’s various enemies.”

It was precisely those Suleimani proxies — Hezbollah in Lebanon and Syria, the Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq, and the Houthis in Yemen — that created pro-Iranian Shiite states-within-states in all of these countries. And it was precisely these states-within-states that helped to prevent any of these countries from cohering, fostered massive corruption and kept these countries from developing infrastructure — schools, roads, electricity.
And therefore it was Suleimani and his proxies — his “kingmakers” in Lebanon, Syria and Iraq — who increasingly came to be seen, and hated, as imperial powers in the region, even more so than Trump’s America. This triggered popular, authentic, bottom-up democracy movements in Lebanon and Iraq that involved Sunnis and Shiites locking arms together to demand noncorrupt, nonsectarian democratic governance.

On Nov. 27, Iraqi Shiites — yes, Iraqi Shiites — burned down the Iranian consulate in Najaf, Iraq, removing the Iranian flag from the building and putting an Iraqi flag in its place. That was after Iraqi Shiites, in September 2018, set the Iranian consulate in Basra ablaze, shouting condemnations of Iran’s interference in Iraqi politics.
The whole “protest” against the United States Embassy compound in Baghdad last week was almost certainly a Suleimani-staged operation to make it look as if Iraqis wanted America out when in fact it was the other way around. The protesters were paid pro-Iranian militiamen. No one in Baghdad was fooled by this.

In a way, it’s what got Suleimani killed. He so wanted to cover his failures in Iraq he decided to start provoking the Americans there by shelling their forces, hoping they would overreact, kill Iraqis and turn them against the United States. Trump, rather than taking the bait, killed Suleimani instead.

I have no idea whether this was wise or what will be the long-term implications. But here are two things I do know about the Middle East.
First, often in the Middle East the opposite of “bad” is not “good.” The opposite of bad often turns out to be “disorder.” Just because you take out a really bad actor like Suleimani doesn’t mean a good actor, or a good change in policy, comes in his wake. Suleimani is part of a system called the Islamic Revolution in Iran. That revolution has managed to use oil money and violence to stay in power since 1979 — and that is Iran’s tragedy, a tragedy that the death of one Iranian general will not change.
Today’s Iran is the heir to a great civilization and the home of an enormously talented people and significant culture. Wherever Iranians go in the world today, they thrive as scientists, doctors, artists, writers and filmmakers — except in the Islamic Republic of Iran, whose most famous exports are suicide bombing, cyberterrorism and proxy militia leaders. The very fact that Suleimani was probably the most famous Iranian in the region speaks to the utter emptiness of this regime, and how it has wasted the lives of two generations of Iranians by looking for dignity in all the wrong places and in all the wrong ways.

The other thing I know is that in the Middle East all important politics happens the morning after the morning after.
Yes, in the coming days there will be noisy protests in Iran, the burning of American flags and much crying for the “martyr.” The morning after the morning after? There will be a thousand quiet conversations inside Iran that won’t get reported. They will be about the travesty that is their own government and how it has squandered so much of Iran’s wealth and talent on an imperial project that has made Iran hated in the Middle East.
And yes, the morning after, America’s Sunni Arab allies will quietly celebrate Suleimani’s death, but we must never forget that it is the dysfunction of many of the Sunni Arab regimes — their lack of freedom, modern education and women’s empowerment — that made them so weak that Iran was able to take them over from the inside with its proxies.
I write these lines while flying over New Zealand, where the smoke from forest fires 2,500 miles away over eastern Australia can be seen and felt. Mother Nature doesn’t know Suleimani’s name, but everyone in the Arab world is going to know her name. Because the Middle East, particularly Iran, is becoming an environmental disaster area — running out of water, with rising desertification and overpopulation. If governments there don’t stop fighting and come together to build resilience against climate change — rather than celebrating self-promoting military frauds who conquer failed states and make them fail even more — they’re all doomed.
