Good read for anyone interested

 

Over a decade ago, critics of the liberty movement would often argue that it was not enough to simply point out all the problems plaguing our economy — we needed to also offer solutions. Of course, a common Alinsky tactic is to demand your opponents solve all the world’s ailments before they can earn the right to complain. “If you can’t give us a solution, then stop going on and on about the problem,” they would squawk incessantly like parrots.

 

I don’t agree that our right to analyze the instabilities of our financial system is predicated on our ability to fix the issue outright. In fact, that sounds rather insane. How can we fix the problem if we don’t educate the public on the problem first? However, I do think that the only people who have the drive and the knowledge to ultimately come up with a solution are those in the liberty movement. Who else is going to try? Who else is even qualified?

 

I have seen many ideas come and go over the years. The thing about fixing what is broken is that while you might get most people to agree on the problem, getting a majority of them to agree on a solution is a nightmare. Once enough people agree on a solution, you then have to find a way to motivate them to act on it. The masses often want desperately to help themselves, they just don’t like it when a lot of effort or sacrifice is required.

 

This is why we only tend to see organized activism and a push toward self-sufficiency AFTER a crisis has already struck. Most human beings require obvious incentive before they become motivated. They need immediate gratification. The people that can see the long game, who can see the incentives years or generations down the road, we call “leaders.” The hope is that one day every individual can be educated to the point that they can self-lead; that each individual will become an innovator and problem solver in their own right.

 

One solution to fight back against subversive globalism that I have promoted for most of my career as an analyst is decentralization. And, I still hold to this day that it is the only practical way to ensure that free people are protected from the threats created by international banks and globalist institutions bent on shaping the world to their will. This solution, though, requires individual action as well as group action.

 

Globalists desire a world system that forces everyone to participate, either through fear or necessity. This system is designed to promote dependency (slavery) while also promoting a feeling of isolation and helplessness. It is meant to erase self-reliance as a model for living, while also squashing any potential for voluntary organization. To go to war with such a system, we have to achieve the opposite goals.

An army parade in the southwestern Iranian city of Ahvaz has come under attack. Journalists and children are among those shot in an assault that has reportedly left over 20 people dead and more than 50 injured.

 

Gunmen opened fire from behind the stands during a military parade in Ahvaz on Saturday. The event was attended by members of the local elite, including the Ahvaz governor as well as high-ranking clerics and MPs. Shooting broke out several minutes into the event, which featured troops from the Iranian Army’s 92nd armored division.

The attack has left as many as 24 people dead, Iran’s official IRNA news agency reported. Some 53 people were wounded, including women and children. Journalists covering the parade also came under fire.

 

The assailants were apparently wearing military uniforms, and the attack lasted for about 10 minutes. The agency's Twitter account has released a set of photos showing the aftermath of the assault.

It is said that two out of four attackers were killed as troops and security forces returned fire. Two other assailants were arrested.

 

According to Irna, the assaults have been claimed by the "Patriotic Arab Democratic Movement in Ahwaz" group. The group blamed for the assault is affiliated with Saudi Arabia, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesman Ramezan Sharif said, as cited by Press TV. Other Iranian media also consider the assailants to be linked to the Saudis, Iran’s regional arch rival. There has been no reaction from the Saudi side so far, nor has Tehran elaborated on the accusations.

 

Iran’s military later said that the terrorists were trained by two “Gulf countries” and had ties to the US and Israeli spy agency Mossad, Reuters reported citing brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi. Neither Washington nor Tel-Aviv have commented on the claim so far and Iran has also not elaborated on the accusation.

The attack comes as the nation commemorates the end of the eight-year Iran-Iraq War that ended in 1988. The anniversary was marked by a grand military event in Tehran, where mobile missile launchers, heavy armor, and troops paraded through the main street of the capital.

 

During the Tehran parade, Iranian leaders seized the opportunity to send a message to the US. Hassan Rouhani said Iran will never abandon its efforts to develop ballistic missiles, as these are “the most powerful weapons of the Islamic Republic.” He stressed their “defensive” nature, however.
