Sports War



Professional sports are the new battleground regarding the simmering culture war in the USA.

 https://usareally.com/368-sports-war

 The old establishment is assembling all of it’s available assets to combat POTUS Donald Trump and the new conservative movement he heads and now with what are they proceeding? Why with what else? Professional Sports, friends!!

 First it was the singular and unreal “protest act” carried out by various players at the beginning of the season for the NFL, in September 2017, these defiantly knelt while the National Anthem of the United States was being proudly played and the fans humbly stood in deference to their flag and then in shock observed this bizarre and unnecessary behavior by the players who alleged the official excuse as being the “mistreatment by police of African Americans”. Instead of respecting their fans, who paid good money to see them PLAY, these athletes decided to hijack what many hoped would be a time of unity to then spread their so called leftwing activism.

 This was not the place and time to carry out these actions. These million dollar athletes decided to spit on the symbol of freedom to ironically protest for freedom.

 Why? Because in spite of the fact that their act is covered by freedom of speech laws. Their freedom of expression is not what’s at stake. What is at stake is respect for the paying fans and their values. The players are employees getting paid to play sports, not activists. However we will further cover this below. Roger Goodell, the Commissioner for the NFL, gave cover to the “protests”, by stating that Donald Trump was the one being disrespectful in the face of this behavior by the players.

 POTUS Trump had called out these players. He saw them for what they were, pseudo leftwing agitators. He challenged the owners to put a stop to this. He felt the pulse of public, of that silent moderate majority who stood in opposition to the owners and wanted athletes who played the game and not fake leftwing agitators spoiling the mood. Roger Goodell and his lot were showing that the establishment was providing aid and comfort to this fake “uprising” from over privileged and overpaid players.

 Yet the POTUS was gearing up for the fight and his comments in rallies across the country reflected that. The establishment for it’s part attempting to demonstrate it’s bona fides as members of the neoliberal globalist elite, went ahead and double downed, so in a show of so-called solidarity these protests were then extended to the Women’s Football League and the Women’s NBA, now both genders were in on it (oops, sorry the lefties want a genderless society) both HUMANS were in on it, better (not really)? Later on in October, these protests take place again, this time forcing VP Pence to leave the field, this was a calculated shot across the bow against the recently elected administration, if we recall their was no honeymoon period. Yet VP Pence’s silently graceful and measured noble action continued to set the pace with regards to the government’s response to the fake uprising.


 Patriotic fans everywhere took note concerning what had to be done, ticket sales and attendance began to decrease, impacting them, the owners where it hurt them the most. They the owners began to lose money, initial signs of panic setting in. The hits just kept on coming, so the war was on like Donkey Kong. The bizarre protests continued spreading like a disease with the behavior of Jose Altuve, a baseball player with the Houston Astros, when that team was welcomed to the White House, this happened upon obtaining the title for the World Series in March of this year. Altuve’s face was full of irrational rage and seething bile against the POTUS, why? Who knows, who can read the mind of a man with the face of a maniac? This person was invited to attend a very important event at the White House, celebrating his team’s well earned victory, yet instead displayed disdain and obvious contempt for the host, the POTUS, while trying to send some type of crap message. Very disrespectful and poor show on Altuve’s part, yet the lefties jump up and down applauding like monkeys at the sight of such uncivil behavior, calling it then right and proper. Closing with a bow, there were also the silly doubts expressed by Stephen Curry, of the Golden State Warriors with regards to if he would or would not show up at the White House if his team became champs (they did win).

 This nonsense, which resulted in the rightful withdrawal of any invitation as a result of the statement also coming from King James, that NONE of the teams who were disputing the championship would be present at the reception. The White House swiftly counter attacked and as we said withdrew the offer, which is a great shame in and of itself due to the actions of these immature children in adult form, the fans once again were the ones slapped in the face, since it would’ve been a great honor to share the moment with the nation’s commander in chief, burying their own individual interests and demonstrating that they indeed put unity and the country first, instead they continued to foster division. All of these shenanigans are simply another chapter in the continuous tit for tat between POTUS Trump and the old establishment or the culture war, as we will now continue to explain: Professional Sports is just another business. One thing though is amateur sports and quite another is professional sports. The first is in the hands of the state by way of an Olympic Committee or Sports Council, whichever may be the case, their writ and mandate is to provide recreation and grant incentives towards the playing of sports and related activities. While the second one is in the hands of businessmen, these set up teams, leagues and championships with the purpose of making a profit, nothing wrong with that. This profit seeking in the world of pro sports translates into ticket sales, t-shirts, souvenirs, advertising contracts, franchising, commercials in the stadiums, transmission rights, even the pimping out of the players whom are used for promotional products or causes and then can even be traded for million dollar amounts to other teams.

 Pro-Sports are an industry that generates hundreds of millions of dollars for all involved, jobs direct and indirect. It’s relative importance is not in doubt, it’s portrayed as the source of entertainment for the everyman, who are usually quite patriotic, yet politically moderate with whom the owners are way out of touch. The owners therefore try to gain some legitimacy by jumping on the authoritarian lefts bandwagon, yet by doing so they hurt their relationship with moderate middle america who by and large are their customers. In the case of the USA in order to regulate the operations of these big business enterprises, there have been commissioners established who are mere bureaucrats or managers elected by the owners of the business.

 Each professional player, be they football, basketball, baseball, etc are not considered athletes or sportsmen, they are legally considered to be an EMPLOYEE, a worker. As mere employee’s, they must follow the orders and dictats of their employers, these have set the rules and conditions, which can be many. So the sports professional must follow them with regards to; Advertising, goods and services (the owner of the team gets his cut, of course), medication, food that can or cannot be consumed publicly, broadcasters with whom he can or not appear with and logically what he can or cannot utter at any given time and standards of behavior. We reiterate: A pro-athlete is an EMPLOYEE, merchandise. 

He or she is a managed good, to be disposed of as wished by the owner. So what do you do when your employer asks you to do something? You do it. With regards to the fake uprising, qui bono? The establishment uses the pro-sports for their own ends and if necessary will weaponize it as such if possible. However the majority of the American people are opposed to the elites of the Establishment using their game for their pseudo progressive methods. Some of the protestors indeed do have noble ideals and their is a concern due to some element of police brutality out there, that one would have to be blind to say that they do not take place. However neo-marxist movements like Black Lives Matter are simply pseudo left wing agitators that are all part of the same group that wishes to impose the authoritarian liberal model upon Americans that exists in Venezuela, Cuba and parts of Asia, however noble they may appear these groups longterm goals are the disruption and destruction of the current, heavily under siege classical democratic order. Ironically the owners of the teams allow and in many cases compel their players, once again their employees to proceed with the pseudo uprising to decry the feelings of oppression they claim they experience.

 However this is all an attack on POTUS Trump and the MAGA movement that is developing all over the country. We the writers of this article ask what kind of oppression do million dollar players experience? The fans, the moderate majority can see right through this charade that is brought about by the establishment in the form of the globalist owners and their dupes the players. At the time of this writing POTUS Trump has nullified the uprising and has won this current battle. The owners have been brought to heel and the players neutralized. The CinC Donald Trump is constantly underestimated and despite the fact that there were issues involving freedom of speech and civil rights, the marrow of the matter in this is once again we repeat, a front in the culture wars between out of control progressives and the new conservative movement that is being ushered in by Donald Trump. The fight for now is over, yet the war goes on.

USA Realignment



https://usareally.com/302-usa-realignment 


 Russia is currently enjoying the effects of an inner realignment and in the process recovering the influence of the former Soviet Union, thereby strengthening the country’s “Nation-Branding” for World Cup 2018. Wikipedia defines Nation Branding as a concept that aims to measure “the application of corporate marketing concepts and techniques to countries, in the interests of enhancing their reputation in international relations.”

 Many nations aim to improve their country's standing, as the image and reputation of a nation can dramatically influence its economic vitality. They seek to attract tourism and investment capital, increase exports, attract a talented and creative workforce, and enhance their cultural and political influence in the world. Different ways that nations project their nation brand include export, foreign direct investment,tourism as well as their NGO’s. The Brand of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, (USSR) reached that distinction and distinguished itself as being one of HIGH “quality” or top-shelf value.

This occurred after it’s triumph during World War 2 over Nazi Germany, they then became a global power, earning itself a place at the United Nations Security Council (UN) alongside the other permanent members, France, UK, USA and China. This new status, was then consolidated with important infrastructure works, achieving strategic souverainetéalimentaireto feed it’s massive and growing population, as well as energy independence which allowed it to not have to be dependent on any other country, earning it the admiration of the world.

 All of this made the USSR worthy of being the organizer of the 1980 Moscow Olympics, these were a resounding success, in spite of the boycott of certain invidious and jealous countries. Afterwards the decay and passing of the USSR on December 25, 1991 brought about in tandem the loss of the Nation Branding effort that the Russians enjoyed and their social stability. The Russian Federation, is now the successor state, or the “heir” to the USSR, but it assumed it’s inheritance in calamitous circumstances, these blemished and marred it’s economy, it’s territory and pride.

 Russia then undergoes a long and painful transition burdened with diverse political conflicts, amongst these the attempted coup of 1993, the bloody Chechnya war, these things further cast down Russian prestige, constantly losing influence everywhere in the world. Ever since the aforementioned Olympics until recently, 30 years go by with the Russians seemingly unable to show any achievements to the world. This all appeared to change with the rise of Vladimir Putin in 1999, to the position of Chief Executive of Russia. Putin is able to pacify, stabilize and then relaunch Russia and it’s new Nation Brand. He ends the Chechnya War with victory for Russia. He consolidates territory in the vastness of the country, checking multiple separatist movements. Internal social peace is achieved. Crime is brought under control. The fostering of free enterprise takes place. The restructuring of the Russian Oil and Gas industry, turning Russia once again into a world leader in the field. The implementation of democracy by way of free elections, these are held without traumatic events or delays. At the same time old alliances with former USSR friendly countries are re-established. This prowess has achieved that the Russian Brand would once again be taken seriously for the celebration of the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi 2014, TAKING PLACE 34 YEARS AFTER MOSCOW 1980!!!! The difference was that there were no boycotts, all of this being a success in splendor, organization and security for all the attendees.

 The Russian “Brand” is consolidating itself with WORLD CUP 2018, which appears set to become a resounding success, the stadiums and related infrastructure to the event are ready to go. This has put in evidence that the Russians have recovered their ability in being a World Class Power in the economic and diplomatic sense, able to timely set, stage and execute events of this high level of magnitude and prestige. So Russia is back and it’s about time that the realignment has nearly come full circle at least in our eyes.

 The USA is also in a state of realignment. 9 and half years ago a man named Barak Obama promised Americans Change, a new realignment. He promised to Re-Brand America after the disastrous Bush Dynasty years. Then came another man who didn’t like this kind of change or realignment, this man is called; Donald Trump. Trump decided to smash and demolish the current Nation Branding that the USA had under Obama. Instead of Leading from Behind as some type of anomalous or atypical figure.

 Trump decided to step directly into the lime light, then boisterously and loudly declare that he would MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. This involved turning back the clock to the so-called All-American virtues of Truth, Justice and the American way, so some might say. Traditionalism and once established norms would be focused on again, like Christianity, Family Values, Closed Borders and the scariest one of all; Nationalism were about to make a big comeback. Doing so would collide head on with the Globalist Cabal that viewed Traditional All American Values as aberrant and toxic. The Left that had held sway in an almost unchallenged fashion for so long on both sides of the Atlantic was now to face it’s greatest foe.

 Trump, a White Straight Christian Male, who owed his success to nobody but himself and is beholden to no one. This man who they called undisciplined and bandied about all other types of epithets to morally impeach him, has already built a global real estate empire and reared half a dozen seemingly well adjusted children. He has a stable marriage and all of his former wives speak highly of him (which many a man knows is quite difficult even from one to do), notwithstanding the current spouse who has had to nobly and stoically endure a formidable array of harassments and insults from the so-called “Tolerant Left” and it’s legion of mad cap acolytes, who spare no time in speaking ill of her.

 The now known excesses of the Left and the so-called Liberal, Pseudo Progressive Establishment that it has imposed on it’s own population and pushed on the rest of the world has caused a national reaction which was begging for a realignment with the election of Mr. Trump. Trump is now the Champion of that mass of the population that made known their desire for a realignment at the ballot box just as a sizable portion of Russians clamored for a Putin who has now Made Russia Great Again.

 Trump, was always a political centrist moderate with a slight conservative bent, much like most of the USA population & was horrified at the 8 years of the Uber Leftist Obama regime. Ironically he also was once a registered Democrat and a close friend of the Clintons. They even attended his wedding to the now much suffering Melania. Yet as mentioned, even he, Trump was aghast at the changes taking place in the country of his birth, he like many found the tyranny of the left intolerable.

 Even the now tarnished Actor Comedian Roseanne Barr stated, that the left had gone to far. Due to this there is a true social fermentation that this writer has observed and dares to declare that a revolt against the so-called Liberal Order is now taking place. A Liberal Order that according to Argentine thinker, Nicholas Marquez, has become an Authoritarian Pseudo Progressive framework that reigns in the West, that rages against traditional values, is bent on rendering asunder the foundations of the true heritage of Western Civilization. Whether they be Freedom of Speech and the Traditional Family by way of attacking the so called Patriarchy and promoting the abolishment of Genders, it all has a bullseye on it.

 A violent and dangerous extremism on the Left has arisen, which is just as dangerous as the one on the Right as stated by modern day Philosopher and Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Jordan Peterson and exhibited itself at Stanford University in Berkley California, ironically the birthplace of the modern concept of freedom of speech. Some of the reasons why this revolt is taking place are; The Obama establishment taking political correctness to new levels, where people were even afraid to speak their mind anymore, as witnessed by this writer on many an occasion. Hollywood Hysteria and the rise of a so-called Resistance.

Who can forget the constant assault on the “White Straight Male” that went on unabated until very recently? The balance of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was abolished. Christians and conservatives constantly harassed. Race relations becoming worse and worse, giving rise to Black Lives Matter. Stealth persecution of Christians and their organizations, exemplified by Obama’s “Clutching to Bibles and Guns” comment and the IRS’s actions against them. The increase of the powers of the new un-official inquisitor or the state, The Southern Poverty Law Center, who will label anyone they disagree with as a “Hate” group. The Leaders of the Democratic Party were becoming a class of people above the law, as portrayed when presidential candidate Hilary Clinton was able to maneuver the Department of Justice from indicting her for bribery and conspiracy when it was discovered she improperly handled classified top secret information and large donations made to the Clinton Foundation.

 Huma Abedine and other Clinton aides were granted immunity of all sorts while many of Trumps associates are indicted and harassed. This all displays the rot that took hold of the system during the 8 years of Obama and the urgent need for a realignment to take place. The Nation Branding of the USA indeed took a severe beating during the Obama years in spite of the gloss and shine portrayed by the Fake News Media. Yet Trump is aggressively changing that National Brand of the USA back to what he defines AS GREAT AGAIN. That is his ideology, this is now the BRAND.

 In our following articles we will further analyze how the USA is currently REBRANDING itself in the Era of Trump and how in spite of the constant hysteria the change is a healthy and much needed realignment of the social forces in the country.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WIKILEAKS CABLES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE?

The genius of the United States of America, to "rescue" 



WikiLeaks intelligence and "transparency" organization founded by Julian Assange in December 2006, after the successful "coup" of 2010 in which they obtained and disclosed to the world the secret and confidential archives of the Pentagon relating to the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and those of the State Department concerning their intelligence reports on operations, profiles, businesses and other ills in all countries of the world, where the United States of America has a direct, indirect or circumstantial impact .... Suddenly, these "files" stopped being revealed or made known.

 BACKGROUND:

 In 2010, after these leaks. Immediately the United States of America moved all its tentacles and resources to punish those responsible, and then "stop" that matter.

 From that onslaught ...

 - Cut or diminished all information.
- Cut or reduce any source of funding.
- Detected, imprisoned or exiled the "filterers": Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden.
- They cornered Julian Assange by making criminal records and extradition requests that forced him to go into exile at the Embassy of Ecuador in London England.

 THE GREAT JOB OF UNCLE SAM.

 Before the measures taken by the United States of America ... Julian Assange was forced to "suspend" the issuance of all these "leaks" on the official WikiLeaks website, not having enough economic and human resources for such a titanic work. These are more than 250,000 "cables" and barely two thousand have been uncovered.

 When they were "tied hand and foot," they unexpectedly began to tempt him with various, varied, and multiple offers to yield, sell, or "share" such valuable information to an "independent media troika" led by The New York Times, German Der Spiegel, Britain's The Guardian, Frenchman Le Monde and El Pais, from Spain.

 Already in December of that same year 2010, these media had "the world's first" to give "continuity" to the revelation of such delicate, sensitive and historical information .... Beginning with "dripping" to make known some and "strangely" keep others in the darkness. Finally: These "cables" were transferred "exclusively" to several "independent" media in all parts of the world ... Those who acquired "local representation" of all those documents that concern their respective countries.

 In the case of the Dominican Republic, this "franchise" was in charge of two "independent" media, which "coincidentally" have very strong links with the United States Embassy. At the outset, he revealed some "cables" of particular interest, to BURN or VALUE certain situations or characters, while "reserved" the emission of PROFILES of various personalities and FACTS of the national task. After 2 months ...! PUBLICATIONS WERE OVER!

 Today you have stopped "enjoying" the publication of those "cables" in ALL THE MEDIA that acquired the "scoop" of the emission of them. It is still unknown, the content of the remaining 240,000 CABLES, from the State Department.

 WHAT HAPPENS TO WIKILEAKS CABLES?

 They were simply acquired by "independent" media related to the United States of America, through Wall Street or the International Agency for Development (USAID) ... They filtered those THAT CONVENIENT ... And they saved the rest. We stayed, without almost all the answers. Solved case.

The founder of Mormonism, if not the Prophet, is a hero, inspired by God.

    Procer: From Latin procer is an adjective that allows pointing out the high, high or eminent. As a noun, is a distinguished hero, courageous and high dignity who contributed to the enhancement, or release, of their community?

Definicion.de

Subject, dated April 19 , 2014. By the way, the official confirmation of the 40 wives of the Prophet Smith , most " symbolic "


Regardless of tales , stories , gossip and inventions , real or imagined , attributed to the Prophet Joseph Smith, objectively , has been a character , which I have admired since I learned his name , following my conversion to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in October 1983 .

Observe their initiatives:

Founder -Restorer of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ( Mormons)
To which we add, its offshoots in various other religions, which together are called: Movement of Latter-day Saints.

With a super organizational structure: First Presidency ( Prophet and 2 directors) , Quorum 12 Apostles , Quorums 70s , Relief Society, Bishopric , Stakes and Districts, Branches or Districts , etc. .

Apart from the idealization , its spectacular temples , rituals , doctrines, etc. .

Founder - sponsor of the cities , "autonomous " and " theocratic " Kirtland , Far West ( 1831 ) and Nauvoo ( 1839 ) , with its own government , administration, budget, laws and military. Founded on Christian doctrines and distinctly Mormon inhabitants.

In an era in which the concept of " independent city " was unknown, and now 150 years later, is a "novelty " as draft " independent cities " of Honduras or " city- state" of Singapore Monaco, San Marino.

As a " theocratic cities ," probably the first of the modern and contemporary history , 100 years ago , of the Lateran Pacts of 1929, which gave rise to the Vatican City.

Why was brutal and cowardly murdered by henchmen , as he put prison for political reasons ( accused of sedition against the United States ), the June 27, 1844 .

17 years before the Civil War in the United States , 21 years before the assassination of Abraham Lincoln , 119 years before the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

Most likely, Joseph Smith was the first religious, in modern times , persecuted, imprisoned and killed for political reasons , 129 years before the perpetrated against the Rev. Martin Luther King and 136 years earlier, made ​​against Monsignor Oscar Arnulfo Romero.

To which we add , what we see now :

As evidenced by the thousands of shrines, temples , institutes , universities , offices and facilities scattered throughout the world .

15 million members .

The influence and economic , social and political control over the states of Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Colorado, Oregon, New Mexico , California and Arizona ...HALF OF U.S. !

CONCLUSION :

If these achievements, include , which were designed , inspired and executed, IN PERIOD OF 15 YEARS , since the founding of Mormonism in 1829 , to the murder of Smith in 1844.

Add to this , that these achievements , feats , feats, were in charge of a " young man " , who died at age 39 , without having , higher education ...

Achievements made , " swimming upstream " under severe adversity, I full of gossip , conspiracies, betrayals, accusations , wars , prisons, divisions and the most bloody and vicious , persecution ever seen against Christians, since the days of the Roman empire, in of a backward , rural, racist and semi-feudal society , like the United States , at the time.

If you want, just remove the title of "prophet" ... If you wish, discard , it has received " divine revelations " ...

If you are not happy , stay with all the gossip and stories that have been woven on his person.

But without any doubt , we are in presence of a hero , genius, nobleman , lit , extraordinary, off the charts, ahead of his time , as evidenced by their fruits.

At present, Ukraine held “elections “where the President will be selected for the period 2015 -2020.

It is no coincidence that it is precisely now , when elections are held in Colombia , Venezuela and the Parliament of the European Union ... All important , as the result of them , will affect regional peace in South America, and the composition of Power in Europe .

But not as much as the Ukrainian territory historically intertwined with Mother Russia, as heirs of the Soviet Union, believe they have "rights" to the first, and are " ready for anything " recover, lost " influence " after the overthrow of Victor Yanukovich Amid the "fireworks " and the sudden support "intransigent " President Vladimir Putin, so there will be is " hostage exchange " where the Russians, " recover what belongs to them " in exchange for.... ! ?

Sea, anyone, who “succeed “, respond to Russian interests, Ukraine.

Therefore, the candidate “pro-European”, Yulia Tymoshenko, is not included with any opportunity, surveys, appearing with anemic 8%.

Being the favorite Petro Poroshenko , who has promised to "fix the problem " with the Russians , appearing with solid 44 % in the polls, + / - 30 % difference on " rivals "

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, COLOMBIA 2014 : Results and Forecasts, in the first round .

 

This Sunday , the Republic of Colombia , which holds elections will be selected, President and Vice President for the period 2014-2018 .

 COVERAGE AND RESULTS : 

 http://www.registraduria.gov.co/iniv.htm 

 http://www.eltiempo.com/noticias/elecciones-2014 

http://www.caracol.com.co/ 

Prediction: 

What looked like a sure reelection of President Juan Manuel Santos, in the first round has been affected by the doubts generated in their health after surgery for prostate cancer

- The division of the right platform, which gave sustenance, with Uribe on one side and conservatives on the other , each with its own candidates .

 - The scandal , his strategist JJ Rendón , involved in "reach bridges" drug trafficking.

- The difficulties and sabotage against the peace process, to insert the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC ), to civilization.

These factors have affected so that the colorless, challenger candidate Uribe , Oscar Ivan Zuloaga, is going up in the polls, and catch him in the preferences ... Thanks to the undisputed leadership of former President Alvaro Uribe Velez. 

 But nevertheless, insufficient :

Because the candidate Uribe, raises concern, with fears that definitely abort the peace dialogue , while on the other hand, you spy scandal erupts and sabotage.

Because President Santos, despite the drop in acceptance has been stabilized thanks to the strength of its vice presidential candidate German Vargas Lleras, the incorporation of former President Cesar Gaviria. and the call to cover , by his former rival Antanas Mockus, because it would "vote for peace "

Besides the plays went well , the most recent debate between the presidential candidates , according to analysts .

This situation, without surveys, make us foresee holding second round, with Ivan Zuloaga and Juan Manuel Santos as classified.

Already at this stage, we shall see, they bring the circumstances.
