Anyone so hated by America must be doing something right. For those who know Spanish:

I think I like this guy. That last tweet to Donald Trump roughly translates to:

"Keep f***ing with me and and I'll make you eat your f***ing words, you f***ing gringo piece of shit."

(Insults are very language specific, so I did my best.)

Couldn't have expressed my feelings about Trump better myself.

This guy has insight.

"Uno no sufre por amor, uno sufre por pendejo."

translation: One doesn't suffer for love, one suffers for being a fool.

"Tal vez no le caiga bien a todo el mundo, pero no finjo ser un pendejo para agradar a la gente."

translation: Maybe one doesn't appeal to everyone, but don't act like a fool to please people.

That's all show, the Jewish run credit monopoly will cancel his digital #'s out and that will be the end of Trump or they create some #s and put them on a piece of paper and get one of their idiot minions to whack him for it.

Obviously Donald Trump sucks, but as an actor you must at least admit he is giving great performances of late. The interview with that NBC bimbo was absolutely perfect IMO.

All the American politicians are actors acting for different audiences. So yeah, Donald Trump's act appeals to ramzpaul.

I was looking for a condo in Baja (Mexico) a few years ago and Trump was selling units in a condo that he said he would build. He took deposits from hundreds of people. He never built it, but he kept the people's money. The guy is a typical American corporate crook. That's why he is so rich.


I have been thinking a lot about El Chapo and I want to read more about him. One thing that is obvious is that he has really loyal followers. When El Chapo went to jail, the guys under him could have just taken over, but instead they helped him escape. There is no such loyalty in America, every American is a backstabber without any loyalty.

Besides loyalty, another thing that a gangster culture does is to limit people's ability to screw over each other. Each time you seriously screw over another person in a country like Mexico, you are risking your life because they may kill you. This clearly moderates behavior. Two of my former American friends screwed me over badly enough so that I would like to kill them and I would if I thought I could get away with it.

And one last difference between gangster/tribal culture and the American business world. In business, bullshit is king. The better bullshitter you are, the more successful you are in business. This does not work in war where substance beats bullshit. A gang/tribal leader must have real substance, as opposed to business leaders who can survive purely on bullshit.

All this has helped me understand why Americans, particularly the American elite, are the scum of the earth; backstabbing bullshitters with no substance or loyalty, protected by a legal system designed to protect evil.

Well yes. Still some great recent interviews though.

No doubt it does, but there are limits to that moderation. Here is a book you might like to read that touches on the subject, if you haven't already read it.

My concern about El Chapo escaping prison is Ciudad Juarez becoming a bloodshed again.

"El problema es que la gente sabe poco, pero habla mucho."
- The problem is that the people know little but talk much.

"No me molesta que la gente hable mal de mi, normalmente los perros ladran cuando no conocen a la gente."
- It doesn't bother me that the people speak badly of me, normally the dogs bark when they don't know people.

El Chapo's twitter feed is some of the best reading in internet. In a world of Idiocracy, it's nice to see a guy with brains like El Chapo.

[fschmidt]

They call me a bad killer, assassin, thief, and all the worst that one can be in this world but I only hurt people who truly deserve it. I don't kill children, the elderly, and much less do I take from them what they need. The drugs are consumed by those who want it, and I don't force them. In contrast in the government, they kill innocent people to keep power, kill children, students, the elderly, rob their necessities, and after all that, they have a salary and call the president servant of the people, and the only thing that they do is serve themselves from the people. SO WHO IS THE BAD GUY, ASSASSIN, AND THEIF???


(No wonder governments hate him.)

It is evident that the Electyle Dysfunction is in full swing in the US. And what a show it is! Its a clear sign of a civilization’s decline when this kind of political charade dominates the public discourse instead of genuine topics of public interest. Like “how come nobody from the major banks is facing criminal charges for plunging the U.S. into the deepest recession since 1929?” or “why is that originators of futures contracts in commodities such as gold, silver and oil can do so ad infinitum without any reflection of real world supply and/or demand for such commodities?”.

The U.S. is finished; it is essentially a corporate plutocracy, run by a gangster elite; and the American people are basically morons, with shit for brains and that anyone with half a brain and the means to do so should emigrate before it’s too late. When a guy like El Chapo comes along and becomes a competitor the US start pointing fingers.

And this is why El Chapo isn't a charade. El Chapo represents the future and America represents the soon to be past. I think Putin is a similar character to El Chapo. Gangsters with integrity like El Chapo and Putin will soon replace the entirely corrupt Western elite.

Besides which, the news (lies) about the financial system is just nauseating. At least El Chapo is a pleasure to read.

[HappyinEurope]

You're right. I like Putin and how he holds a middle finger to Europe and the US. It's remarkable what children Americans are, and this goes all the way to the top. Putin writes a measured, mature article, suggesting that they finally grow up and dispense with the "we are special" bullshit, and the response of Obama and press and major politicos is to throw a tantrum! I tell u, there isn't enuf urine in this world to soak the shoes of these people thoroughly (which they sorely need). The US is so dense, and its people so fogged over, that no wake-up call will ever get thru.

"A veces me pongo a ver las Noticias o a leer periódicos para ver si ya me mataron o para ver donde me buscan o a ver que cosa inventan."
- Sometimes I watch the news or read the newspapers to see if they have killed me yet or to see where they are looking for me or to see what things they make up.

"Este mundo es bonito, la gente es la que vale verga."
- This world is beautiful. It's the people who are shit.

"Aunque tengo todo, no tengo lo que más quiero."
- Although I have everything, I don't have what I want most.
