* The rebooted Tomb Raider movies will soon arrive in 2018, and here is the trailer for the first movie: “TOMB RAIDER - Official Trailer #1” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ndhidEmUbI). Unfortunately, the actress is not pretty enough to be Lara Croft. Lara Croft is suppose to be a realistic super woman from Britain: amazingly gorgeous, brilliantly smart, elite athleticism, unsurpassed training and education, and super wealthy. However, the actress supposedly showcases superior acting skills, and this movie’s trailer already looks better than the previous Tomb Raider movies starring Angelina Jolie who was/is a horribly overrated actress. In my opinion, Angelina Jolie has average acting skills with 8/10 beauty, but she somehow obtains star roles. The original Tomb Raider movies were nearly worthless with their disappointing casts, pointlessly random plots, cheesy scripts, and pretentious action scenes. Maybe this rebooted Tomb Raider movie will be decent or better. It seems to copy lots of ideas from the recent video games “Tomb Raider” (2013) and “Rise of the Tomb Raider,” which had much better stories than the previous Tomb Raider games. However, Hollywood is awful at converting video-game stories into movies and TV shows.
Back in the real world, the Trump presidency was suppose to be different and better than the previous presidential administrations. However, President Trump recently gave a speech at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in which he basically said, “UNGA-bunga! Obey the empire or else!” In other words, the speech was very similar to the foreign policies of previous presidential administrations. Examples include, but are not limited to: Iran has an horribly oppressive regime that must be changed, but we should ignore the fact that Saudi Arabia’s medieval regime is more oppressive than Iran’s. Saudi Arabia is allowed to oppress and slaughter dissidents in eastern Saudi Arabia, promote terrorism in Syria, and viciously invade and sanction Yemen. We should mindlessly obey this double standard, because the Saudi regime supports the petrodollar’s global scams (inflation tax, cartels, sanctions, etc), but the Iranian regime values its financial sovereignty.
* “Media ignores Saudi dictatorship as local oil villages become war zones – local Saudi villager” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSv4MC9Dy8E)
* “Shocking Footage Of Saudi Siege Against Own Citizens [at eastern Saudi Arabia]” (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-08-04/shocking-footage-saudi-siege-against-own-citizens)
We should praise and pamper Israel, even though Israel is guilty of genocide and apartheid against Palestine, and Israel hypocritically accuses other nations of being bigoted and racist: “‘Neocon marionette’ Nikki Haley successful in anti-Palestine crusade – Max Blumenthal” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwdn4uaF6mY).
We must oppose the inhumane Assad regime in Syria, because international freedom-fighting terrorists should be allowed to tear Syria into pieces or install a proxy regime in Syria that obeys the US empire. The White Helmets are actually medics for international terrorists inside Syria. The White Helmets are mostly funded and trained by NATO, especially Britain: “‘They don’t care about us’: Syrians on White Helmets' true agenda” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq4LEIO740A). Keep in mind the Assad regime in Syria is actually a relatively moderate Islamic government. The Assad regime is much less medieval or extremist in its views that the Saudi regime is.
We should pay no attention to NATO’s disastrous foreign policies in Libya, Yemen, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, etc. Venezuela’s domestic problems prove the Venezuelan government is incompetent and corrupt, but we should excuse the bloody chaos from the failed state of Mexico’s crime-infested towns and cities, El Salvador’s perpetual revolutions, and Colombia’s drug gangs. At least some Venezuelans are actually trying to fix their nations’ various internal problems, and they have enjoyed various degrees of success.
The Venezuelan government and its supporters are trying to diminish the influence of Venezuelan cartels, and cartels are working with the US corporate-government and some Venezuelan supporters to sabotage the Venezuelan economy, blame the economic shortages on the Venezuelan government and its supporters , maintain their various monopolies, and seize control of the Venezuelan government by any means necessary. Here is a perspective that has been censored, misreported, and/or underreported by the US mainstream media (which is supposedly the global champion of a free press): “Empire Files: Abby Martin in Venezuela - Supermarkets to Black Markets” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUYWrPiUeWY).
The Venezuelan government was elected into power, and it seeks options that are independent of the US corporate-government, but the US empire disapproves of independent entities and approves of proxy regimes like those found in Israel, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Mexico, etc. The Venezuelan government seeks to create a democracy that maintains voting rights to the general adult public, and provide entirely new voting rights to specific social groups (e.g., students, employees, employers, and Native Americans). This new voting system basically creates government representatives for certain social groups, thus, a unique social group that is a minority of the entire population still has political influence. In other words, traditional democracy divided voters based on the voters’ main residences or primary geographic locations. Venezuela wants to also divide voters based on the voters’ vocation, genetic heritage, and other personal characteristics. Venezuela’s government wants to experiment with various political policies in order to improve the quality of life of Venezuela: “Empire Files: Constituent Assembly Dictatorship or Democracy in Venezuela?” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9BoZmuhDKA).
Russia and China should sheepishly obey the US empire, or else Russia and China are violating international justice. Concerning the continuing civil war between North Korea and South Korea (which originated from European colonialism and Japanese imperialism, the 2 world wars, and the Cold War), North Korea is a huge threat to the entire world, even though North Korea does NOT have a history of conducting large-scale wars, executing covert operations, supporting proxy rebels, propping up proxy regimes, and building military bases all over the planet. The empire of the Zionist US kleptocracy does have this highly interventionist history under euphemistic marketing such as (explosive) liberation, humanitarian (shootout) missions, (double-standard) anti-terrorism, dumb-mock-crazy elections or (relative) majority tyranny, etc.
In other words, the US oligarchy is still trying to force through old and outdated foreign policies that are based on one-size-fits-all standards, even though trends across the world indicate the highly diverse world needs customized solutions for politics, economics, daily lifestyles, housing and transportation, environmental standards, religion and philosophy, fashion, education, entertainment, law and order, etc. According to the Zionist liberal Democrat Party, President Obama was suppose to be a great political genius, but Obama’s foreign policy perpetuated or created failures for Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Palestine, Libya, Syria, Ukraine, etc. The Zionist Christian Republican Party under President Trump will most likely continue and expand upon these failures. America’s corporate-governmental oligarchy and its honorary servants have surrounded themselves with luxurious and privileged illusions. They rarely have to suffer the consequences of their bad leadership. Instead, the drawbacks are shifted onto or forced upon the average person.
The same applies with America’s domestic situations. Racial disputes and race riots in America are possibly history’s longest running examples of blowback. For hundreds of years, America still struggles with managing the differences between black cultures, white cultures, Native American cultures, Asian cultures, Middle Eastern cultures, etc. There have been slow and steady improvements, but a lot of fixes are still needed.
During the late 1400s, European colonialists migrated to and invaded Native America in search of more freedom and better justice (which is totally ironic), but the European colonialists failed to enslave Native Americans. Thus, the European colonialists conducted genocide and oppression against Native Americans while importing black slaves from Africa. During the late 1700s, the European colonialists rebelled against their British overlords during the Revolutionary War and created the United States of America. Then America suffered through a very bloody and destructive Civil War during the 1860s in order to cancel slavery and create a more powerful federal government. Then came the civil rights movement of the 1960s to 1970s. America still suffers cultural conflicts. Here are a few recent examples out of many:
* On 2017 Sept 15 (Fri) at St. Louis, Missouri, police officer Jason Stockley (white guy) was found not guilty of unfairly shooting to death Anthony Smith (black guy). Lots of black people and other people disagree with this court decision, thus, they protested: “Protests in St. Louis following ex-cop's acquittal” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jRgmcHVXRE).
* The protests persisted for at least 4 days, and some of the protests became violent. Example 1: “Protesters hit St. Louis police car after officer acquitted of black driver’s murder” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXI50p2wr5M). Example 2: “St. Louis Unrest: Violent protests continue following ex-police officer acquittal” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zt7CqXcIa9s). Example 3: “Arrests made in St Louis on third night of protests over police shooting” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7r0d24E_qk). Example 4: “Violent protests continue in St. Louis after following officer acquittal” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-8L10sL9nU).
* The police arrested some protesters and rioters, but these arrests only created more protests: “Hundreds picket St. Louis jail in solidarity with those arrested in police shooting protests” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22stWw8GM4c).
* The National Football League (NFL) has many players who are mostly black and who protested against allegations of racism and violent corruption from police officers who are mostly white. The pro-athletes protested by kneeling down or sitting down during the singing of the US national anthem. They were suppose to stand up with their right hands over their hearts. President Trump said these NFL protesters should not protest, and they should be punished. President Trump believes only he and his supporters have the right to protest and to use public positions to express their opinions. President Trump and his supporters failed to understand the US Constitution’s Bill of Rights that allows all Americans to enjoy the legal right to peaceful protests. As expected, Trump’s hypocrisy created more protests and resistance: “Wave of anthem protests across NFL as Trump clashes with players & owners (VIDEOS, PHOTOS)” (https://www.rt.com/usa/404417-nfl-anthem-protests-trump/).
* Here are the video recordings of the fatal incident involving cop Jason Stockley and Anthony Smith. The actual videos start at the 1:13 mark: “Police officer Jason Stockley, shoots and kills Anthony Lamar Smith in December of 2011 (DASH CAM)” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmJk3V8Dsck).
The video shows a police SUV pulling up behind Anthony Smith’s parked sedan. The 2 cops exit their police SUV and try to arrest Anthony Smith, but Anthony Smith drove his sedan against the police SUV to escape the 2 cops. During this escape, the 2 cops were near Anthony Smith’s sedan, but the 2 cops were not in danger of being rammed and/crushed by Anthony Smith’s sedan. Then the 2 cops got back into their police SUV and chased Anthony Smith. Anthony Smith drove his sedan beyond the speed limit and through opposite traffic, thus, he was a huge threat to the general public. Eventually, the 2 cops’ SUV caught up with and crashed into Anthony Smith’s sedan that was moving slowly and coming to a stop. The 2 cops exited their police SUV and approached Anthony Smith who was still in the sedan’s driver seat. One of the cops fired multiple shots that killed Anthony Smith.
Then police officer Jason Stockley went into the police SUV and did something with a large bag sitting the backseat of the police SUV. The video did not fully reveal what cop Jason Stockley did with the large bag, because the cop’s backside blocked the camera’s perspective. Other cops arrived and removed Anthony Smith from the sedan, and then cop Jason Stockley entered Anthony Smith’s sedan. There is debatable or unclear evidence that indicates cop Jason Stockley planted a handgun in Anthony Smith’s sedan. Anthony Smith has a history of crimes involving guns, drugs, and thievery: “Officer's 'kill shot' was fired six inches from Anthony Smith's body, prosecutor alleges” (http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/officer-s-kill-shot-was-fired-six-inches-from-anthony/article_22fce07d-70a6-5ce3-8bcd-b1567f53ed46.html).
Generally speaking, black people think the white cop Jason Stockley used excessive force or unjustified fatal force against the black criminal Anthony Smith, but white people think the cop acted appropriately against the criminal. At least many black people believe bigotry or racism is a fundamental cause of police searches and/or police brutality against blacks. These black people ignored, excused, or understated (1) the disproportionate crime rate of black people (against other black people and against non-black people) and (2) the crimes of the black people who were searched, seriously beaten up, or killed by law enforcement. To make things worse, these black people have the unrealistic belief that (a) everyone must agree with black people, and (b) a non-black person who disagrees with black people is a bigot, hater, or racist.
In my opinion, there is a reasonable probability the cop Jason Stockley planted the handgun in the car of criminal Anthony Smith, the cop did not have clear and present emergency to fatally shoot the criminal (who, at the time of the shooting, was no longer a huge threat), and the criminal was clearly a menace to society due to the criminal’s troublesome history and extremely irresponsible driving. Neither is completely innocent nor completely guilty. Either is partly guilty and partly innocent. Thus, each person deserves criticism, punishment, and compensation.
The problems in the US justice system obviously go way beyond these 2 individuals. The US justice system is normally very costly and bureaucratic, but the results unjustly favor the wealthier and more socially connected, or unjustly disfavor the poor and socially disconnected. The US justice system also has another double standard that is advantageous for law enforcers, but deleterious against civilians. Police officers are allowed to use very violent to deadly force against escaping criminals and/or criminals who might be a major threat, but civilians are required to use minimal force against escaping criminals and/or criminals who might be a major threat. Police officers are allowed to use overwhelmingly superior force against violent criminals, but civilians must use proportional force against violent criminals.
When police officers break the law, cops are more likely to be forgiven, excused, or minimally punished by the US justice system, but, when civilians break the law, civilians are more likely to face harsher or less lenient punishments by the US justice system. Compared to the average civilian, police officers have access to vastly superior equipment and training, but the US justice system holds police officers to much lower standards. These are a few reasons for why the very expensive US government’s various agencies, bureaus, departments, and branches have low approval ratings by the general public.
The US government created a very bureaucratic and costly legal system, but the US government puts minimal effort for educating the general public on how to follow and apply these regulations. In addition, the US government greatly underestimates the dissimilarities of various individuals and communities. People vary by intellectual capacities, natural inclinations, and physical attributes.
All cultures share the same general morals: Do not unfairly harm another person, do not act irresponsible toward the environment, respect the proven establishment, etc. However, the details differ greatly. What is the exact definition of unfair, harm, irresponsibility, and respect? The same could be said about cultural preferences. Thus, when different cultures closely and constantly interact with each other, disputes arise regarding what is acceptable and unacceptable, or what is desirable and what is undesirable. America’s police state is incompatible with black communities which favor simpler standards or more primitive lifestyles.
The US government should have created a black state with a black governor, black mayors, black cops, black judges, black bankers, and black residents. The black state generally follows the US Constitution, but the exact application is customized for black people. Based on thousands of years of historical trends, the black state would have lower technology and less sophistication than the other states, but this would be a natural development that tremendously prevents and minimizes lots of racial disputes. Similar concepts could be applied for other ethnic groups, religious/philosophical groups, social-economic groups, etc. However, the US government was/is primarily controlled by (a) insatiable white people who want to exploit black people and everyone else and (b) white people who fantasize about cultural Marxism. This system has been gradually creating more problems than solutions, and it is also increasingly incapable of solving national and international problems.
America’s cultural and preferential conflicts exist elsewhere, because America is a global empire that was founded upon European colonial imperialism that imploded during 2 world wars. France's high per-capita consumption compels it to have a highly interventionist foreign policy around the world (e.g., colonialism, explosive liberation, humanitarian shootout, anti-terrorism, and dumb-mock-crazy elections). To maintain friendly trade relations, France imports lots of primitive Africans and medieval Middle Easterners, which causes lots of cultural conflicts in France. The French natives protest and riot when they cannot enjoy high per-capita consumption rates. Thus, the French police are overwhelmed with domestic conflicts:
* “On the frontline: French police demand protection from protesters & terrorists” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phCfIfpEyao)
* “Paris builds bulletproof glass around Eiffel tower” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beNe-IU9rNs)
France’s problem also exists in Britain, western Europe, and northern Europe: “Vicious Circle: Security measures fail to prevent UK’s 5th terrorist attack in 2017” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJPH3GOd5CQ). Vast portions of the Middle East have proxy rebels and/or proxy regimes that are propped up by the empire of the Zionist US kleptocracy. Latin America and Africa have histories of being under European colonialism and modern histories of internal instability from various factions. South Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Pacific Islands have regional and international cultural conflicts. Australia and New Zealand are nations founded upon European colonialism against Australian aborigines and New Zealand natives.
The patterns are obvious to anyone who is not brainwashed by the cultural Marxism of Zionist liberalism, the superstitions of Zionist Christianity, or the imploded colonialism of Trump and other white nationalists. The application of one standard upon everyone is more beneficial toward some and less advantageous toward others. This one-sided solution is highly sub-optimal and increasingly outdated. These problems will be exacerbated by the overpopulation of less competent people (which promotes incompetence, corruption, and poverty) and unsustainable and high consumption at a national and/or per-capita rate (which causes various domestic and foreign disputes over natural resources, labor, and environmental degradation).
America and the entire world should have peaceful and customized solutions for each unique culture. Mormons have their own peculiar state. The Amish enjoy their distinct communities. Chinatowns and little Italy locales are found across America. Jews cluster together in New York City, Chicago, and elsewhere. Based on what I've read, the majority of Jews strongly favor a purely Jewish nation called Israel, but they believe a gentile nation is horribly ignorant, bigoted, or racist if it is a purely Christian nation, a purely Islamic nation, a purely white nation, a purely East Asian nation, a purely Native American nation, etc. Hypocrisy is a common tool to manipulate others. The entire history of the world involves borders that separate different communities. Christian denominations have their own churches, and a similar system exists for Islamic denominations and mosques. The more academic students attend higher ranking universities, and the less academic students go to lower ranking universities/colleges or entirely avoid universities/colleges. Restaurants specialize in certain culinary styles. Athletes are divided by talent, skill, experience, and/or weight classes. This peaceful social differentiation should be greatly expanded and deepened.
