“If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don’t even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery–isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you’ll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you’re going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It’s the only good fight there is.”

― Charles Bukowski,

Adolf Hitler, Along with Mussolini’s son-in-law, Count Galeazzo Ciano (to Hitler’s right), and Joachim von Ribbentrop, attend a NSDAP (Nazi Party) 1930s.

Count Galeazzo Ciano was, from the very beginning, against the notion of Italy entering a war; he believed Italy was ill prepared for such an undertaking. As his doubts grew, Ciano would take increasingly bold actions; prior to the German invasion of France, for example, he warned the Belgian government of an imminent German invasion of Belgium. In 1942 and 1943, when the situation looked dire, Ciano turned his efforts towards Italy’s withdrawal from the conflict. For this, he was removed from his post as Foreign Minister on February 5th, 1943. He would remain under close watch of his father-in-law, Mussolini. Following Mussolini’s arrest and Italy’s change of heart, Ciano sought refuge in Germany. There he did not find it; Ciano was rebuffed by the Germans and tried by the fsacist Italians, who found him guilty of treason. Count Ciano was executed by firing squad under the order of his father in law, Benito Mussolini, on January 11th, 1944. His last words were “Long Live Italy!”

Troops quickly secured the coastline following the landing, pushing several miles inland over the following days. Lingayen Gulf would become a major supply depot for Allied forces for the remainder of the Pacific campaign.

Sylvester Stallone’s Beautiful Tribute To His Old Dog Butkus

sylvester-stallone-dog-tribute-butkus-1

Anyone who’s ever loved a dog knows the indelible mark they leave on our lives — a legacy of devotion that lingers on long after they’ve gone. And it’s never too late to honor them for that. Sylvester Stallone, reminiscing about his best friend, a dog that not only inspired him to write ‘Rocky’ but who also played an important role in the film, revealed little known details about their early life together and the dog that kept him going during some of the toughest times in his life.

Stallone met the Bull Mastiff puppy, who he named Butkus after the famed Chicago Bears linebacker, in 1971. Broke, hungry, and living in a tiny apartment above a New York subway stop in Hell’s Kitchen, Stallone and Butkus became the very best of friends. It was during their time together in that flophouse that Stallone began screenwriting.

“When I was 26, totally broke, going nowhere VERY fast… I had my dog, BUTKUS, my best friend…”

“Who always laughed at my jokes, and put up with my moods, and… loved me for who I was!”

“We were both, thin, hungry, and living in a flophouse above a subway stop”

“When things got even worse I had to sell him for $40 in front of a 7-Eleven store, because I couldn’t afford food”

“Then like a modern day miracle, the screenplay for Rocky sold, and I could buy him back”

“But the new owner knew I was desperate, and charged me $15,000 … He was worth every penny!”

Confessions Of A Russian Mail Order Bride

0
0

russian mail oder brides

What did you do before you joined the mail order service?

I just graduated from college.

Why get into it?

I was young and didn’t have clear intentions, just curiosity 

What was the appeal to the US?

Russians have a romanticized vision of US – that is free, cool, and a land of opportunity.

What were your perceptions of the US before you came? Has your experience been anything like what you were expected since your divorce?

Perceptions before I came were shaped by Hollywood – so white picket fence and two story house with two kids and a dog. Or Manhattan. And all kinds of freedom for all. Turned out to be the opposite of that.

Since my divorce – yes, I live the American dream now. But I had to make it by myself.

How do you perceive men that "order" their brides? Is there an outstanding difference to those that look for their wives themselves?

It depends on a particular man. If he is looking for something submissive and is going to abuse her – very negatively. But if he just wants to have a family and is out of luck in his own country – why not?

Why don’t women who are interested in this sort of thing ever go to the US dating sites (OKC, POF, Match, etc) and look for their ideal husbands and contact them through those instead of the mail order bride sites since most people tend to think they are scams?

I don’t know. Maybe because your average US male is not interested in a long-distance relationship?

Did you try dating Russian men? What was that like?

Yes. I was very young, so I just remember being constantly pressured to have sex.

How old were you when you married your American husband, how old was he?

21, 45

What he did for a living?

Businessman

Do you know how much he paid for you?

I know he spent $10K to fly over and have a wedding. Not sure how much he paid to the agency. May have been a free online service?

Was he doing it for sex?

He was doing it for many reasons and I’m sure sex was one of them.

How was the sex?

Sex was OK

Are pre-nups common for these marriages?

Pre-nups are common, especially when men are wealthy.

Did you bang the first night you met him?

Maybe.

How was your marriage at first?

Initially it was a honeymoon-like relationship. He treated me well and we had a brief dating period. I did notice him mistreating service staff (very rude) once and thought about leaving right then, but decided that I should be an adult and not bail on someone so easy.

Did you ever develop genuine affection for him?

I did develop genuine affection – in his good/ sane times he was very fascinating and charming. He also travelled the world and had great taste. It all was like a great adventure. I didn’t feel forced to be intimate.

Did you ever feel like you were using him just to come live in America? Do you think he ever felt used?

I didn’t feel like it – I was going to create a family, we had a kid. I supported him through crushing poverty and disability and only left him after he was OK again. He probably feels he was used – he tends to blame other people for his problems.

Did you have a plan B in case the marriage didn’t work out? If yes, what was it? and would you ever go back to Russia if you got the American citizenship?

I was 21, so I didn’t even have a plan A. And yes, I would go back to Russia – I had a good life there. Aside from being embarrassed, of course.

Is becoming a mail order bride in Russia an embarrassing thing?

No.

So whats there to be embarrassed about?

That I couldn’t make a success of my new family and my new country

What would you say is the percentage of mail order brides who take the money and disappear?

I’ve met one. She got $100k after being married for 2 weeks to a guy worth $20M. Most others do not get much if anything – they are unfamiliar with laws, do not speak the language, and do not have any support system.

OK, so you say that you have some friends who are Russian mail order brides with happy stories. What made them stand out, were they looking for rich older men who will just pay for their existences, or did they find husbands who created a normal (American) life, with 2 incomes, children, a normal family life, etc.

Their husbands were decent people who treated them like equal human beings.

What’s the best success story you’ve heard of in regards to their life in America?

My childhood friend married a real estate developer who worships her, had 3 adorable kids. I know a few more who married millionaires and heirs but those didn’t turn out that well. If both people genuinely desire family it tends to work out. If one of them looks or sex slave house maid and another one for money, then there will be problems.

You have a lot of friends who have left their husbands after a short period of time? I feel that when you marry a man who twenty or thirty years your senior is difficult to sympathize with them.

I don’t know. I always preferred older men. Also, I am not looking for sympathy, so none is needed. I have a few friends who left their husbands after several years – but they usually endured emotional and physical abuse.

Can an average looking American with average income get a Russian bride? Or are most mail order brides after money?

yes. no.



Do Russian brides only choose white men or do they sometimes choose black, latino, or asians?

They prefer white men I think but I’ve seen mixed couples

Have you since remarried? And what’s your current occupation?

Thanks. Yes, I remarried. I am an attorney now.

Do you regret it?

I thought about it a lot and decided that I do not. When I married him I was a stupid little girl and after this experience I grew into a strong adult.

How do you think American men stack up against Russian men?

American men are not aggressive enough and Russian men are too aggressive. So if there is a beautiful woman walking down the street, Russian man would be all over her and would not take no for an answer. American man would probably just silently hope to run into her again.

What big differences have you noticed between Russian and American women, if any?

American women are more demanding. When I was in law school, I went on a trip with three of my female classmates. They were discussing their dating life once and I was stunned with their requirements – a guy must be tall with dark hair, well-dressed, Harvard-educated, and the list went on and on. Conversely, Russian women set the bar too low – a man who is an ogre in more ways than one can score an outstanding woman.

Why is Russia full of lonely women? I understand that alcoholism is rampant over there, but is it really that bad?

Alcoholism is very bad, life expectancy for men is terrible. women used to be economically disadvantaged – to get ahead in life you need a man. so women were treated like cattle – any blemish (old (over 20) age, former marriage, etc) and your value as a mate deteriorates.

Are the drivers in Russia really as bad as the YouTube videos show?

Worse.

The US and Russia get in a war, let’s call it world war 3. Which country do you side with??

US. I know because I cheer for US Olympic team since 3 years ago. Was cheering for Russians before then.

"The notion that human beings are always victims to their circumstances is an affront to those bold spirits who throughout history have spent their lives prevailing over adversity."

~ Jim Stockdale

Where many fail to act like men is in the belief that their actions aren’t a result of their choices. Many feel that they act only in response to what is around them, and what is around them is usually a reason (read: excuse) to give up, quit, or to put it more eloquently, to be a little bitch.

When you’re a victim to circumstance you have – in your mind – a valid reason to be less than what you can be. After-all, what you can be isn’t a choice you make but a choice made for you by the environment you were born into. You didn’t choose the town in which you were born or the parents who conceived you. You didn’t choose where you begin, so how can you be held responsible for where you end?

If you in any way agree with this notion that your circumstances choose where you end your life and what you do in your life, you need to wake the fuck up.

This is tantamount to a heroine addiction. They have similar effects. You’re at the beacon of the drug, which in your case is the love of victimhood. When you see the odds stacked against you not as a challenge – as men see them – but as immovable barriers that can’t be climbed nor destroyed, you are at the whim of your circumstance.

If times are hard you’ll shut down rather than rising to the occasion. Your views of what can be accomplished will be incredibly safe and easy. You won’t seek challenges in your life because you believe that your life is a challenge. You’ll end up living an easier life than the man to sees obstacles as a part of life, but also as things that sharpen character and feed the life force.

Just like heroine addicts often need an intervention or a moment where they hit rock bottom, if you don’t wake the fuck up as fast as humanly possible you’ll end your life regretting nearly every day you “lived”. You’ll go through your years without tasting life’s beautiful highs nor it’s crushing lows. You’ll confine yourself to the middle, to safety, to purgatory.

A Few Answers To Questions You Always Wondered About

0
0

Why do some people believe the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax?

Some conspiracy theories have alleged that the shooting was a hoax and a false flag operation staged by the United States government. Others claim the attack is being used by politicians to push through new gun control legislation, or to otherwise persecute gun owners and survivalists.

Lawyer and dentist Orly Taitz—best known for her promotion of Barack Obama citizenship ("birther") conspiracy theories—was quoted as asking "Was Adam Lanza drugged and hypnotized by his handlers to make him into a killing machine as an excuse as the regime is itching to take all means of self defense from the populace before the economic collapse?"

Talk show host Clyde Lewis wrote: "Don’t you find it at all interesting that Adam Lanza, the alleged shooter at Sandy Hook, woke up one day and decided to shoot up a school and kill children at about the same time that Barack Obama told the U.N. that he would sign the small arms treaty?"

In September 2014, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who runs the website InfoWars, which had previously claimed that the murders were a “false flag” attack perpetrated by the government, made a new conspiracy claim: that “no one died” at Sandy Hook Elementary School because the Uniform Crime Reports showed no murders in Newtown for 2012, and that the victims were “child actors.”

It’s worth noting that the narrative subtly implies the media was “in on” the ruse, colluding with authorities (and locals, and law enforcement, and politicians, naturally) to bamboozle Americans out of their guns. Notable also is the suggestion that conspiracy buffs were invested in rooting out subterfuge (whether it existed or not), as well as the suggestion that gun restrictions were a risk after the killings. (No major legislation was passed in response to the event.)

Why is lobbying normal in the US? How is it different from bribery?

Lobbying in its current state evolved from a more acceptable practice of simply getting advice from people knowledgable in a given field.

For example: If you are trying to enact reform on law enforcement, a congressman who has little interaction with the police would have a hard time drafting legislation to address any of the prevalent problems. Therefore lobbyists would come to the Congressman to give their perspective.

Activists from groups such as the NAACP or ACLU might give their opinion on the problems with how law enforcement currently affects people negatively, so he would know what problems need to be fixed. Representatives from the police union might give their opinion on the reasons officers act with the protocols they use. The congressman needs this kind of information to do their job effectively.

The reason lobbying in it’s current form is often thought of as pseudo-corruption is that the theoretical lobbying described above requires access to politicians and open communication. This is also more or less a given due to constitutional freedom of speech.

Furthermore, it is somewhat of a necessity to have an organized media campaign and infrastructure if you want to run for office on a large scale, such as when running for a congressional district that expands far beyond your own city. As a result, most politicians need to spend money to campaign, and the law thus allows people to donate to politicians.

While this may seem like it invites corruption, consider the alternative: The law cannot restrict an individual from spending their OWN money on a television ad to promote themself, due to freedom of speech. So if there was no mechanism for politicians to raise money, almost all large scale political campaigns would be inaccessible to anyone who was not privately wealthy or famous. Allowing fundraising makes it theoretically possible for anyone to run an effective campaign so long as they have supporters.

The result of these two things: The open access of politicians to lobbyists as a necessity of the job, and the legality of fundraising as a necessity of campaigning, means that anyone can make their wishes known to politicians and can donate money to them if that politician ends up doing what they wish.

From a technical perspective, there is a simple way to avoid corruption in the legally culpable sense: If you do not make an explicit or legally binding promise of payment as a result of a specific action on the politician’s part, it is not a bribe. You are simply exercising your legal right to talk to your local government representative, and your legal right to donate money to that candidate.

The loophole comes from the fact that even if your candidate fulfils their promise, there is no guarantee that you will actually pay them, despite your informal promise. Or inversely, if you donate to a candidate there is no guarantee that they will take the actions you desire. Without such a direct provable cause/effect, you can’t definitively prove corruption.

Why do we never see or hear anything about current serial killers?

  1. Forensics has gotten much better than the 70’s and 80’s when there was this “boom” of serial killers. Before the 60’s you could literally just kill someone and leave as much of your blood, semen, hair, bitemarks, and clothing fabric as you would like, and you’d still have a good chance of getting away. Yeah, H.H. Holmes murdered over 100 people, but that was before we even had SSNs. There was literally no grid, and you could just disappear without people caring. With DNA testing, fingerprinting, fabric and hair analysis, CGI crime scene recreation, security cameras everywhere, and cell phones that can be traced at all times, it’s kind of hard to keep a solid alibi. Any kind of person who will go on a serial killing binge will most likely be stopped before he murders his second or third victim.

  2. In the field of murderers, serial killers take up a very small percentage. There are way more 1-time murderers, gang-related murderers, and even mass shooters than serial killers. Most murderers only kill 1 person for personal gain (usually for revenge or insurance money). True serial killers who are legitimately fucked in the head and get pleasure from murdering multiple people (usually man-on-woman) are very rare. Real psychopaths who will target ANYONE without any actual agenda, like they love to show in horror movies, are even rarer. I can’t even think of one example off the top of my head.

  3. Serial killers have gotten smarter. With the science we have today, guys like John Wayne Gacy and Jeffery Dahmer (especially Dahmer) would’ve been caught relatively quick. If you research serial killers, a good portion of them were “almost” caught multiple times. They would fuck-up, but people were more naive back in the day. There were many who were just murdering people within a 15-mile radius of their home, so if you mapped it out, you’d easily be able to narrow down your suspects. Jeffery Dahmer was pulled over right after he committed his first murder, with GARBAGE BAGS FILLED WITH HIS VICTIM’S REMAINS IN THE BACK SEAT OF HIS CAR! The cop asked him about them, Jeffery said he was going to the dump to clear his mind, and the cop actually believed him. There was also another time when one of his victims escaped from his apartment NAKED, flagged down a police officer, and Dahmer was able to explain to the cop that he was just drunk. Again, he believed him! Yeah, that won’t fly today. Even cops are more keen on that. You need to be a nomad, ditch your cell phone, wear common clothing, drive a common car, don’t leave a predictable path, disguise yourself, don’t leave biological evidence behind, etc. It’s a full time job. I read a statistic somewhere that stated that around a third of murders go unsolved. Many people think they were all just random murders with no connection. How do we know that some of them aren’t connected? Perhaps some of them are from the few who could actually cover their tracks.

 

 

At what point was it to late for Germany to win WW2?

This depends entirely on your point of view: it’s either from the very beginning in 1939, or in 1941 with the failure of the capture of Moscow during operation typhoon.

Wages of Destruction by Adam Tooze offers some pretty good reason for this. The economic balance of power was always very much against Germany once war broke out. Even in 1940, the UK and France was outproducing Germany in terms of war materials (i.e in terms of warplanes). Also the Nazis were chronically short on raw material and lack the means of importing them from oversea sources (To give you some idea of how bad this was, Germany was almost out of bombs following the invasion of Poland) whereas the Allies had the resources of the entire colonial empire to draw on. Meaning that any real war of attrition or long term war was going to result in German defeat.

So what the Germans needed to do is not to wait for a war of production to occur, but to push forward with the conquest of new territories as fast as possible in order to secure new resources and to knock out opponents before they can translate their economic potential into military power.

To this end, daring Blitzkrieg attacks were the optimal strategy, as shown in the invasion of Poland, France and the first 6 month of the invasion of Soviet Union. The Germans also enjoyed very good luck (i.e much of the French airforce was grounded for maintenance during the first phase of the invasion of France), and very very bad planning on the part of the Allies (i.e during the invasion of France the French rushed armored divisions into Belgium, walking right into a German encirclement) that made it very successful during the first stage of the war.

However, the problem with this strategy was that it depended very much on momentum, the moment when a conquest is stalled or failed, the house of cards starts to collapse because the war turns from a rapid war of maneuver and encirclement into a slow war of grinding attrition and production. I cannot stress how important this is because Germany’s opponents to both the east and the west was growing stronger faster than it was. There was therefore, a limited window of opportunity to launch a successful invasion. Delaying the invasion of the Soviet Union by a year for instance, would have meant the Red Army recovers more from Stalin’s purges and fix the problems it was shown to have during the Winter war with Finland which drastically decreases German chance of success.

As an aside, the invasion of the British isles was never a serious option for the Germans with any possibility of success.

And a stalled conquest is exactly what happened in 1941, the German failure to capture Moscow when it invaded the Soviet Union. German forces stalled in front of Moscow in December 1941 and subsequent Soviet counter attacks drove it from the gates of the Soviet capital. By failing to do so, it failed to knock out the Soviet out of the war and was therefore forced into a war of production. The declaration of war on the US in 1941 after Pearl harbor did not help in that regard.

Thereafter, despite retaining control of most of Europe, the Nazis was unable to mobilize the full extent of industry because Europe lacked natural resources to do so. The chronic shortage of oil, Bauxite among other materials mean that many factories in occupied territory lie idle. There are a lot of myth regarding the fact that Germany did not go on war economy until it was too late while in reality the truth was that Germany was -unable- to mobilize the full economic potential of its occupied territories.

By Paul Kennedy’s calculation, the US alone possessed over 50% of overall war-making powers (industry, manpower etc) in the world in 1941, combined with Soviet and British production, it was only a matter of time until Germany was grinded down by superior economic power. For a while, Germany retained an advantage in being the most experienced of the combatants with the best quality army, but that started to disappear as the Red Army started to gain more experience and Germany’s best divisions was destroyed on the Eastern front. It was able to achieve important tactical success on all fronts (i.e 3rd Kharkov, Kasserine Pass), but those were never enough to change the balance of power int he war. The rest is, as we say, history, as the allies defeated Germany and occupied it.

Had the Germans taken Moscow in 1941, it would have captured an important center of transportation, it would have dislocated the Soviet planning bureaucracy which made its economy work, and most importantly it might have caused a political collapse within the Communist party of the Soviet Union, which might have destroyed the Soviet war effort. Once it occupied enough of the Soviet Union, it might have being able to acquire enough natural resources to mobilize the industry of Europe and transfer enough divisions to the west to prevent an Anglo-American landing. But even that is a pretty long shot because chances are the Soviet Union will not collapse following the loss of Moscow.

The Nazi regime was pretty inefficient and there was a lot of stuff they could have done better (i.e rationalize the production process instead of having an ad-hoc allocation of raw material among its industries), but none of it as enough to fundamentally alter the economic balance of power.

 

 

What the hell happened to West Virgina?

Yes, West Virginia is among the poorest if not the poorest state in the union as well as one of the most uneducated and least economically developed. It wasn’t always this way. The reasons for this almost have to do entirely with coal.

In the 1950s more than a fifth of the working population worked in the coal industry. Life in West Virginia was based around coal. Much of the population lived in towns that were created by companies called “coal towns”. Places like Enterprise, West Virginia  or Gordon, WV . These towns were built and administered by mining companies for the purpose of bringing miners and their families next door to work.

Since most mines were pretty backwoods areas that would require a lot of time and effort for miners to get out there, do their job, transport their product, and then leave, it made more sense for mining operators to just set up coal camps which eventually turned into coal towns. It’s why there are so many tiny towns and villages just seemingly in the middle of the brush in West Virginia along with a lot of winding mountain roads connecting them all.

These towns were almost all governed by the mining companies themselves as well, some even had their own form of credit which could only be used at company stores. So not only was housing in coal towns propped up by the coal companies, so were the businesses within the town as well.

So what happens when a cheaper, cleaner, and more efficient competitor to coal comes out? In this case natural gas. People stop buying coal. When people stop buying coal, many of these mining operations simply dry up and so do the towns. The young people can’t just go into the mines after school for steady employment, so they leave. Business, propped up by coal miner wages and credit, leaves as well. These coal towns, which number in the hundreds across West Virginia start hurting badly and experience economic contraction like never before. But it’s not simply that coal companies are moving out because they’re being replaced. Coal is also running out.

There is only so much in the West Virginia mountains and it’s been mined heavily and almost nonstop since the mid-1700s. Many of these coal mines have just stopped bearing coal. Also in terms of coal sales, Wyoming has been giving West Virginia a run for its money lately.

Another factor in the unemployment situation in West Virginia is automation. It isn’t a new thing either, when the conveyor belt came out a bunch of coal miners lost their jobs. And then longwall mining came out in force and instead of having miners hacking at the mine you could simply shear off an thousand foot long ‘wall’ in the mine and having it packed and ready for transport instantly significantly reducing the number of people needed in the mines.

After longwall mining came mountaintop removal mining. This is where you simply cut down the forest on a piece of mountain where you want to mine, and then literally blow up the top of the mountain to get down to the precious coal reserves beneath the soil. It’s a lot safer than traditional mining because it negates the need to go underground but at the same time it’s not really environmentally conscious.

If you want an idea of how widespread mountaintop removal mining is just pull up a satellite photo of West Virginia on Google Maps and look at all of the patches of scalped off land dotting the state.

West Virginia is a pretty homely state as well, much of the coal mining that is or was done is a family affair, a grandfather worked in the coal mines and then when he retired his son took his place, and then when he retired his son took his place and son on. October Sky gives you a pretty good idea. A lot of people just don’t leave their hometowns. They stay, live in an almost perpetual cycle of unemployment, leading to an alarmingly high level of drug use (not the case in places like WY or ND because a lot of miners are transplants). Read this brief NPR interview. Over a span of six years, pharmaceutical companies have sent 400 pain pills to West Virginia for every person living in West Virginia .

Lack of adequate medical care (not enough doctors, etc) leads to pharmacies and pill mills just handing out pain medication and opioids like candy. Nobody in West Virginia is enforcing the law either which requires reporting of conspicuous levels of opioid orders and use. Why? They make too much money off it. It’s individual, independent pharmacies dealing these drugs out in such high numbers not chains like Walgreens or Wal-Mart. The wholesalers are making too much profit to care enough about halting their shipments either.

Eleven Madison Park in New York triumphed Wednesday in the World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards, becoming the first U.S. establishment to win the top spot since 2004. Here’s what a lunch time meal at the restaurant looks like. Interestingly, lunch and dinner cost the same at $225 per person. No menu is handed out when you’re seated. Everything served is from an extended tasting menu where everyone pretty much gets the same thing.

0114-lunch-eleven-madison-park-1-2

1/ Starting off with a blue bakery ribboned box with savory black and white cheddar cookies with apple. A nod to the class NY black and white cookie.

2/ Oyster with grape, bulgar wheat, and sorrel.

0114-lunch-eleven-madison-park-3-4

3/ Marinated shrimp with sea surchin, foie gras, and chervil.

4, Part 1/ Sturgen sabayon with chive oil served in an egg.

0114-lunch-eleven-madison-park-4

5/ Foie gras terrine with potato, greens, and black truffle. There was another option with this dish in that you could have gotten the foie gras seared instead.

…/ Bread with two types of butter. Bread was flaky, and more like a croissant than a roll.

0114-lunch-eleven-madison-park-6

6/ Carrot tartare with rye bread, and condiments. They bring out a grinder, which they attach to your table and the carrot goes through the manual grinder in front of you. You mix all the little condiments with the carrot and have it on top of the toasted rye bread. Who knew carrots could taste so good?

0114-lunch-eleven-madison-park-7-8

7/ Poached lobster with brussels sprouts and guanciale.

8/ Roasted squash with cranberries, pumpkin seeds, and sourdough.

0114-lunch-eleven-madison-park-9-10

9/ Roasted duck with turnip and huckleberries. We had an option to get venison, but we went with the duck.

10/ The picnic course! They bring you a packed basket, and you get to unpack it for an indoor picnic. Inside, Greenward cheese, pretzel bread, mustard, and Champagne grapes.

0114-lunch-eleven-madison-park-11-12

11/ Egg cream with vanilla and seltzer served tableside from a bar cart. This kicks off the dessert courses.

12/ Apple sorbet with bay leaf crème brûlée and hibiscus. A candle for my bithday!

0114-lunch-eleven-madison-park-13

…/ High Mountain, Ali Shan oolong ordered off a separate tea menu. This was $10 extra.

13/ Sweet potato cheesecake with honey and chestnut.

0114-lunch-eleven-madison-park-14

14/ A card trick is a huge part of this course. The server shuffles playing cards with different flavors on each card. I got to split the deck, and move some cards around, and eventually, two cards were selected, and placed face up. You open up the box, and inside, the flavor illustrations on the playing cards match the flavors of the chocolate inside. No idea how it was done, but it was pretty fun. One was passion fruit, and the other, mint.

0114-lunch-eleven-madison-park-15-16

15/ Chocolate covered pretzel with sea salt.

16/ To bring things full circle, black and white cookies, but this time, sweet with cinnamon.

What Would Happen If Every Nation Allied And Attempted To Invade And Conquer The United States?

0

by Jon Davis

Generally, given the rules that you set down I don’t think the U.S. would lose.That said, not losing is far from winning. We would suffer greatly and no longer be a world power worth speaking of. We would probably be little more than another third world power grasping for scraps. But we would maintain our sovereignty. The reason I think we would not lose are because without a nuclear strike and force large enough to take us out would take so long to muster and need to secure so much land that there is almost no way they would succeed in conquering us before we mount a counteroffensive or even first strike against them. You’ll see what I mean later.

Just for fun though… I wrote a scene of what I think it would be like if the rest of the world could use nukes. It is a much more entertaining story. 

Well if every country decided to go at it with us for poops and giggles then yes, I would think they would win. Sadly you got me considering how it would go down and I feel compelled to draw it out for future pessimists in the way I see that it might happen. The following sources for this come from my years in the United States Marine Corps including two very boring deployments where I spent months having these goofy hypothetical what ifs, amateur study of modern civilization strength and technology, and watching the 1980’s classic Red Dawn. Enjoy:

(Wolverines!)

Stage one: Shock and Awe

(Yes I ignored your nuke rule because hey, what would be the fun if you didn’t throw a nuke or two into a doomsday war against the world scenario.)

This is the ugly phase of the operation. Several nations have missiles that could be potentially threatening to the United States’ cities and installations. Of particular importance is the Chinese I would think. They have high velocity nukes that are used to target an entire Aircraft Carrier Group. That is important because it isn’t just the one powerful ship. They travel with many other escort ships, several tens of thousands of people and they might even be docked at important Naval installations like San Diego, Pearl Harbor (not again) or New York. Plus we have only 11 and they are sort of important for defense and air superiority.

Of course there is the stockpile of Russia, with more weapons from the U.K., France and as mentioned China. Others have the weapons as well, but they are in their infancy and likely not a threat by the time the others are done with our major cities.

Other countries also probably won’t care too much about our policy of being nice and targeting only military installations in the way the we did during Operation Iraqi Freedom. I am guessing that while some of our good friends like the U.K. (who inexplicably declared war on us) might observe this, others are just going to be nastier. They understand that this is going to be an ugly war and bringing us down as fast as possible would probably be their best bet.

Things that we should expect at this point: Several cities will be brought down. In our vastly interconnected world this is going to bring down a lot of services. Internet – gone, power – gone, telephone – gone. (These are pretty important.)

There is also the threat of another pretty ugly weapon that would probably be part of the opening barrage. High altitude nuclear explosions. These weapons shower the region with energized electrons that short circuits electrical devices in their target radius. Here are some great info-graphs to breakdown the damage of one of these.

Just suffice it to say in the first few hours we are going back to about the 1820’s technologically speaking. Most of our leaders and talent in the cities are going to be scurrying for their lives to escape the eviscerated cities and no one has any power, water, cellphone or a clue what the heck just happened. Now it is time for down and dirty fighting.

Stage two: Blitzkrieg

The main way that the war will be lost will happen after the confusion starts. During this period there will be a massive yet very surgical operations. The Nazi’s mastered this technique first in which a massive force seeks to push right through to capture extremely important strategic operations. The United States also used this to capture Baghdad in less than a month with this strategy. 

In the War of US vs Them this will probably involve many commandos attacking strategic sites. Fortunately this will have limited ability to actually work since there are these two oceans covering our flanks. The best that could be done is with a large force from Mexico attacking bases in Texas and the Southwest, particular in the desert where there is a great deal of military bases between Las Vegas, San Diego and Yuma while the Canucks attack the Northeast. It would look like this I bet.

Stage three: Securing Operations

Assuming that stage 1 and 2 work out for the best (for them at least) begins the securing operations. This is where we are brought under the command of the our new warlords. We can expect a massive influx of warriors from Russia and China coming from Alaska. We could expect more to invade the Northeast from Europe. Africans would likely flood attack the Old South while South America would most likely take over everything from California to Nebraska to the Mississippi River. This is going to be the ugliest fighting since Iwo Jima meets Rwanda. By this time the counteroffensives would start and the country side would be a massive battleground… damn. We do have some advantages here. America is big, very big. We have assets literally all over the place. So even a major offensive would have a great deal of territory to cover. Plus you look at the Interstate Road structure in the U.S. is actually quite advanced and lends itself to defense of such an invasion (Are you curious about how Eisenhower, the military leader of the Allies in Europe during WWII would want it built at the start of the Cold War?)  

Still though. We are considering a combined of attack of 96% of the world. I am sure that our military would cause some pretty massive payback, but I am still a bit worried. I think our best bet will happen somewhere in the Northeast to the Midwest. It would take a long time to get to those places. Denver would also be a pretty good fortress as our gateway to the West. Texans are also pretty crazy and ornery, but they will be one the first battlegrounds. 

Stage four: Policing operations.

Now is when the civilian populous will have to come under the thumb of the World Military Force. This means that soldiers are going to be flooding our towns , our streets and sleeping in our beds as we are forced to feed them. That is except these guys…

The Local Militias

(These guys are tactical and if that patch is any indication, also would come in handy during a zombie apocalypse as well.)

(You know in all seriousness, you thought these guys were crazy, but when the big day goes down the nutbar on left is going to respond only to Colonel.)

The local militias are fringe people pre-World Against America. They keep mostly to themselves, dislike most others in the world for various philosophical reasons and keep a lot of guns. Most have a military or police background and training, and most importantly, they keep a lot of guns. They form into gun clubs where they share a great deal of their ideals some go on to think of themselves as paramilitary at some point, and their guns. While we don’t really respect what they do today, ok in truth we mock them to their backs because we are terrified of how crazy they might be, they will be the leaders of a grassroots rebellion come “Black Thursday” (It will happen on a Thursday, just wait and see.) Did I also mention that they have lots of guns?

Now yes, these are fringe people, but they will likely serve as a power base that actual warriors no longer serving in the military will flock to. The United States has over 21.8 million veterans. A lot of them are not going to like being conquered and they will be forming and flocking to these groups. So now the grounds will be seething with guerrilla warriors, picking and raiding, bombing and disrupting every major military operation that the enemy has with every dirty trick we have learned from the War on Terror and beyond, but unable to use. That includes Vietnamese death traps, IED’s from Iraq and hiding in caves from the Afghans. These guys are survivors and will likely keep the enemy so confused, disrupted and demoralized that the war could last for decades. Perhaps even long enough for a counteroffensive. 

Conclusion

The facts are, it would be close I think.

Pros for America:

  1. America has by far the best military in the world, in terms of general size, training, equipment and experience.
  2. We have two large oceans to protect our borders.
  3. We have a huge land area that needs to be secured. With the large oceans the real war after the first two months would be logistical as we start fighting dirty.
  4. We have a massive populous with military training and the weapons to back it up.
  5. The world is a very perse place. There are a lot of different cultures, languages and ideas that would all have to work together. Working together is hard.
  6. An attack of this nature would take a massive amount of buildup which would hopefully not surprise our intelligence agencies. We would likely know that this is happening and would probably be able to get some of our defenses up to code by the point the first bombs drop.
  7. This whole cockamammy scheme requires a lot of things to go right for the invaders and even more to go wrong for the U.S. of course we have had our share of bad luck and bad leadership so just maybe…

Pros against America.

  1. There are a lot of people in the world. America 4% < World 96%.
  2. Many countries are specialized in ways that on an inpidual basis could probably beat the Americans. Chinese have numbers, Israeli have commandos, France actually have the ability to produce all the heavy weapons we use now. And the Aussies just kind of rock, as well as many others.
  3. A surprise attack would devastate American infrastructure and response time.
  4. Without technology I am not sure if we would have the capabilities to launch a successful counteroffensive against such a force.
  5. Mexico would provide an easy avenue to some of the most valuable military and civilian assets in the Southern United States and Canada to the Northeast. Land routes would be available to reinforcements from South America and Africa (because Africa is close to Brazil, I know they can’t walk to the States.)

To stick strictly to the rules of the post. No I don’t think the rest of world could “win” and conquer the U.S. if no nukes were used. Aren’t you glad you read all the way down here though? In the case that they did use nukes, I think the numbers are on their side. I truly think it would take literally decades and hundreds of millions if not billions of people lost. Perhaps the rest of the world would give up at those losses. In either case, after writing my little rant I am severely hoping we get better at our diplomacy.
