Over the last few days in Seattle....chaos has ignited and a new country has opened in the downtown part of Seattle....Chaz (that's what the protest crowd calls it).
From what I can figure of this new 'country' (Chaz).....it takes up part of a city park (figure 400 by 400 ft), an area of E-street (maybe 700 ft), and two square blocks (combined to be around 300 by 600 ft).
People who reside there? Chazians or Chazzers?
No one says much about taxes so far. It is obvious that the residents of Chaz are a bit malnourished and pleading for food (looting for food as well).
Homeless people recognizing the nation of Chaz? So far....no indicator that any of them are moving in. You get the impression that living in Seattle was a little bit better than living in Chaz.
Bus route through Chaz? Well....before all of this....there was a bus stop at Bobby Morris Playfield and 11th street. I'm guessing buses got redirected and don't pass through Chaz.
Bars and pubs in or around Chaz? You can count around around twenty bars within the nation of Chaz or within walking distance. There was one gay bar within Chaz....hard to say if it's still operating. Booze might be questionable for delivery at this point.
Survival of Chaz? Well, being a optimist....I'd say that they will survive through til the middle to end of next week. There is a federal law or two on the concept of insurrection, and it involves hefty time in jail if convicted. Course, Trump could just look the other way and say that Seattle is 'lost' and suggest that Chaz can hold onto the whole city of Seattle.
So this brings up several questions. Will it be the Chaz Seahawks? Will Sea-Tac Airport rename to Chaz-Tac Airport? Will you be required to hold Chaz visas if visiting? Will the 7th district of Washington state (Chaz area) be voided and the lines redrawn?
What happens if the area around Portland also converts....to 'Flippy'? What happens if 'Flippians' decide to fight 'Chazians'? Would we stand in the way of this civil war or try to help the Chazians out. And if the people of Boise flip into a new Republic of Berg? Would we help the Bergians out if Chazians came to threaten them?
Pretty exciting with all this chaos, if you sip enough booze and get animated over CNN coverage.
(please note, if the Chaz people ask for me to be an ambassador, I would seriously take them up on this)

My Feeling Over Renaming Bases
With all this chatter about renaming US military installations if they bear some Civil War individual name.....I've come to this conclusion.
First, we need to rename the Civil War....the 'Uncivil War'. This is because it was very uncivil in the end. This will require taking in all history books (libraries, high schools, universities), and burning them....then waiting for the replacement books to arrive.
Second, all bases.....even those which have no connection to the 'Uncivil War'....need to be renamed. So I would start a new naming convention. Base 'A1'. Army Post 'E8'. Naval Station 'Q8'.
Occasionally, we would switch the names around, to confuse the Russians and their strategic targeting.
Third, anyone named Lee or Bragg in the US....will be given one year to adapt to a new last name. Anyone failing this order, will be given the last name of 'Trump'.
Fourth, all American history will be limited to the first seven years of high school. History will be forbidden after that point.
Fifth, any 'experts' who appear on CNN or Fox, to talk about history....must pass an actual history test, on a yearly basis.
Sixth and final, all statues and paintings within the US Capital building must be removed by the 4th of July of this year. The Capital building must be sanitized and represent....nothing of the the past.
(I should note this....toward the end of an era in both Roman and Greek history.....statue dumping reached a enthusiastic period, and everyone was doing it on a weekly or daily basis).

The Finance Side of Antifa and the Riots?
Well....if you follow the Frankfurt school crowd....their agenda is to bridge socialism and Communism. So you look around and there just aren't that many countries that fit this build. The East Germans aren't around anymore....the Russians are mostly 99-percent capitalistic in nature....the Chinese may chat about Communism, but their whole philosophy is now capitalism.
So it can't be a nation-state. Any journalist suggesting this angle of state-sponsored terrorism, and trying to link it to the Russians? Another fraud.
It has to be a non-state operation or sponsorship.

Austromarxism, Riots, and Antifa's Philosophy
About a decade prior to WW I....some intellectual guys in Austria came this philosophy that they wanted to recommend to the general public....call Austromarxism.
The basic selling point was that you'd kinda dump the idea of states existing, and just lean toward people or groups of people running things themselves. A borderless society....so to speak.
This really didn't go too far, and the war years dampened discussions over capitalism.
Around 1921, a big meeting is held, and this one particular group has taken on the idea of bridging socialism and communism....within Europe. Their big selling point? Changing the economic rules of society....adding city-provided housing....introducing free healthcare....and standardized education.
It's worth admitting that for just over a decade....these guys made an attempt to sell this philosophy around Europe, but in particular.....Germany.
The chief guy trying to make the sell in Germany? Carl Grunberg. He became the first professor brought into the Gotha University of Frankfurt (1924). For roughly five years....he developed the school/group direction. In 1929.....he had a stroke and retired.
The Frankfurt branch of Grunberg? It goes on....until 1933....where the theme is harshly counter-attacked by the Nazi Party.
This group of Marxists....was considered a prime target of the Nazis, and had already been 'let go' out of the SPD Party of Germany right before WW I.
What happens after 1934? Members of the intellectual group leave and set up shop in NY City (Columbia University), and stay there until the war ends. Then they return after the war to Frankfurt.
Closely connected to the 1968 student riots? Yes.
Chief goals....anything that marginalized people desire. The chief 'chief'? Capitalism and commerce....the 'evil' of modern day society.

Something About the Kenti Cloth
So this photo of Pelosi and the Democrats in the Capital building has been on my mind. You know....the one of them wearing Kenti cloth around their shoulders.
So I dug into this.
The cloth in this epic moment comes from Ghana, and from the Ashanti tribe. It's distinctive.
Well....here's the odd thing....Ashanti folks were deep into the slave trade....all way into the mid-1800s.
They grasped the economic power of wars....capturing opposing tribal folks, and selling them.
So in some aspects....without much research on Pelosi's part....they put on the Kenti and in some weird way attached themselves to slavery.

Something to Think About
If both Joe Biden and Donald Trump are 'law and order' guys....how does any guy go and vote in November?
This is pretty confusing with defunding, riots, looting and statue-toppling.
Maybe Biden is law-and-order 'lite'?

Observing the Riots
Just ten things that come to mind:
1. There just is a lot of similarity to the 1968 riots in West Germany. The slogans, the chatter, the student-involvement, the anti-capitalism talk, and the stance against the government.
Antifa and the Red Army Faction? Same basic story.
2. I think all of the top 100 Chancellors of universities in the US....have to be having meetings with their security team and talking over the approaching fall semester, and the return of the students.
If active riots occur on campus territory? They'd probably go and shut down the college entirely until the next semester. Refunds? Go explain to the campus staff, and professors....that the semester is shot, and that salaries are going to be diminished in some fashion.
Some kids, I suspect....who were on some 4-year schedule....will be kicking themselves and the system....they just bought into a 5th year....to achieve a 4-year degree.
3. The more that students talk at these riots and explain their logic or reason....the more that viewers get the idea the kid never got much past the 8th grade.
If you are a 3rd college kid and people start to question your education attained...that's a sure hint that the degree business you are pursuing....isn't worth $80,000.
4. What is an autonomous zone?
I had to sit there for a while and look over the Seattle riot....to understand what they said, and what it really meant.
Basically, you've chased out some cops (maybe less than a dozen) and declared an area without law. So if another group of 200-odd people showed up with shotguns and such....they could annihilate you and it'd be perfectly legit. Then some other group could arrive to annihilate them. And after that another group, some others could come and counter-annihilate the anti-annihilaters.
5. It's probably the best time in thirty years to re-read '1984'.
6. In the end, it seems....fascism is just modern-day anti-Communist socialism.
I've been waiting for some CNN 'expert' to suggest this, but it's been a long wait.
7. For any Army guy who was around Somalia during the brief US period there, and observing the War-Lords with their 'gangs' at work....this whole thing has become the same script and same scene.
8. The defunding the police chatter? In the past two days....that really softened up and seems to be going modification of the police in some ways....less military equipment, no choke-holds, etc.
9. Interest in NFL football in the fall? Forget about it. Figure a one-third to 50-percent loss in TV income and seat sales. The league at this point? Doomed.
10. If you live in Seattle or Minneapolis....why would you bother staying?
So a final note and question....to climax all of this and bring peace....all we have to do is vote Biden in November? That doesn't seem to make much sense, in a logical world.
