No Thanks: Seven Reasons the U.S. Military is Falling Short of Recruitment Goals

The United States has a problem.  That, of course, is a massive understatement.  America has multiple problems, but the biggest problem Washington, DC, currently faces is a recruitment crisis for reasons that are deeper than so-called military readiness.  The entire American system relies on the threat of power projection.  The following explains that which is at stake for the imperial regime, seven reasons it is happening, and an opportunity for Southern Nationalism.

The all-volunteer military has struggled to make its recruitment quotas for years, but this year may be the worst in its history.  At the time of this writing, the U.S. Army has made only 40% of its annual recruitment targets for Fiscal Year 2022.  Since the fiscal year runs October 1 to September 30, that leaves roughly two months for the Army to make up its numbers.  The problem is that school is out.  Most recruitment is done from January to May, when high school seniors join the Army to help them figure out their future path.  The summer months are typically for the sake of filling the remaining 10%, not 60%.  Other services are struggling, too, with the exception of the Marine Corps (which will barely make their numbers) and the Space Force (which only needs five hundred nerds).  For our elites, that is a problem.

Washington, DC, relies on a combination of hard power – defined as war making capacity and economics – and soft power – defined as cultural influence.  The latter is falling apart, as more countries ban Hollywood products that are definitively “woke.”  It turns out that traditional Muslims, Hindus, Maoists, and Orthodox Christians have finally found something upon which they can universally agree: they do not want their children to see black lesbians kiss in cartoon movies.  Consequently, as the West fully embraces degeneracy and effeminacy, the rest of the world, from Accra to Vladivostok, are finding alternative entertainment sources that do not promote “Western values.”  American soft power is crumbling in real time.  The erosion of hard power, however, is the real concern for the Empire.

Like it or not, if the Leftist West wants to achieve its global version of a “Green New Deal,” it needs all governments on board.  This requires hard power.  The rest of the world must rely on Western economic strength and simultaneously fear American military muscularity.  In effect, the strategy since the end of World War II has been handouts from one hand while the other hand holds a club.  Physical empires were replaced with currency driven empires and the ability to militarily strike those states that attempt to push back.  Since no one really fears the British, French, or Germans anymore, this meant the American military – especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union.  Then came China and Russia.

American decision makers spent the last thirty years transferring the vast wealth of the American economy from the United States to China.  Today, we barely manufacture anything.  We are a transactional economy that relies on buying and selling primarily Chinese made goods while manipulating our dollar to facilitate more buying and selling.  The one area where we have maintained an advantage, agriculture, is now purposely being destroyed by the current government in Washington through regulations and sanctions.  Countries no longer need the United States or the West economically.  Worse, Vladimir Putin is proving this to the world.

When the West went haywire over the invasion of Ukraine, it imposed a myriad of sanctions upon Russia.  Putin knew they would, so he prepared accordingly.  Despite a brief collapse of the Russian ruble, which is not a globally traded currency by design, it is now trading at its strongest in almost twenty years.  The only reason it is not trading at a stronger level is due to the mismanagement of the American dollar, requiring a steady stream of interest rate hikes to combat runaway inflation.  Meanwhile, the euro and British pound are in free fall.  Putin is proving you do not need to rely on Western dominated economies to thrive. 

All of this takes me back to the American military.  The feckless withdrawal from Afghanistan was watched by the world.  An embassy that flaunted the LGBT flag toward traditional Muslim peoples fell in days.  The Americans scrambled to depart a country it failed to subdue over a period of nearly twenty years.  The U.S. military has only won a single war – the First Persian Gulf War – since 1945, and the Gulf War (my war) can hardly be called a war.  Counting back from 1948, when the United States embraced the supposed “blessings” all nations receive through defending Israel, and desegregation in the same year, the US is 1-3-1.  The world sees a pathetically weak shell of a military.

Whereas no one wants to get smacked around like the Grenadians, Serbs, or the Panamanians, American real power does not exist.  The Ukrainians are exponentially tougher than anything the Americans can field today.  Cartoon female social justice warriors are not intimidating Mikhail and Dmitri, both of whom are fighting a real war against real men.  Compounding this problem is the fact that the U.S. traded away any leverage over uranium that it once held.  In 2012, the United States gifted monopoly status of uranium to Moscow (a.k.a., “Uranium One”). Thus, in a few years, not only will the U.S. lack the ability to fully service its nuclear power plants, but it will also not be able to maintain its nuclear arsenal.  By the 2030s, the only country in the world that will have a fully sustainable nuclear capacity will be hypersonic Russia.

You are watching the death of an empire.  Still, the real sign of a dying empire is when its citizens no longer value the imperial system enough to serve it.  In essence, when a people decide that the empire is dead, that is the stake in the heart.  We appear to have reached that point.  The following seven reasons are why Americans either no longer want or can no longer join the U.S. military.

  1. Homosexuality on Steroids: until recently, the U.S. military would discharge service members engaged in homosexual acts.  Today, the U.S. military fully endorses homosexuality, as well as every other variant of degeneracy, with transgenderism literally blowing the lid off the lunacy.  Regardless of your views regarding homosexuality, a simple fact permeates potential recruits: they tend to lean culturally conservative.  Many are White “God and Country” types, raised on a steady diet of Lee Greenwood and flag waving propaganda.  Even non-“conservative” individuals, such as blacks and Hispanics, hold cultural views that find any type of homosexuality abhorrent, especially transgenderism.  The result is that transvestite officers do not appeal to three key recruiting demographics: patriotic Christian Whites, blacks, and Hispanics.  No one wants to take orders from a man in a dress.  There is a reason why a sane America once laughed at Corporal Klinger.  Today, Klinger is an admiral.
  2. The Vax: I know about two people who received the Covid vaccine.  In my exurban area of North Florida, no one around me is vaccinated.  The enforcement of an experimental drug that has proven itself ineffective is going to impact demographic recruitment pools that do not trust medical experiments.  Worse, Covid-19 poses almost zero risk to otherwise healthy late-teens and early-twenty-year-olds.  The vaccine has killed more healthy young people than Covid.  The mandate will ensure that healthy recruits stay away from the U.S. military.
  3. We’re Fat and/or Psychotic: Going hand-in-hand with the issue of the Covid vaccine is the simple fact that American kids are fat.  The U.S. military is reporting that only twenty percent of American recruits can qualify for service without a waiver.  That means eighty percent – four out of every five – are either too fat, have a criminal record, ingested illegal drugs, and/or were prescribed some type of psychosis that required a prescription at an early age.  In effect, the few who do not require a waiver are declining recruiters because they do not want a Covid vaccine they do not need, leaving a bulk of recruits who are probably subpar at best.  When I joined the Marines, I was 6’3” and 170 lbs at seventeen-years-old.  I entered Parris Island doing twenty dead hang pull ups, running three miles in nineteen minutes, and one hundred sit-ups in two minutes.  Top physical training (PT) scores at that time were twenty pull ups, three miles in under eighteen minutes, and eighty sit ups in two minutes.  I left boot camp thirty/seventeen/one-hundred-thirty with an expert rifle badge.  I graduated in the middle of my class.
  4. Strategic Confusion: The U.S. miliary is really awful at one critical thing: winning wars. They suck at it.  As previously stated, the U.S. is marginally 1-3-1 since the end of World War II.  Why fight in a military that will get you killed for no reason whatsoever?  The tragic death of thirteen misguided troops during the withdrawal from Afghanistan was a microcosm of the entire failure of military leadership.  Beginning with the purge of conservative senior officers by Obama and accelerated under Trump (who trusted the military too much), Pentagon leadership looks nothing like the men who soberly engaged the Japanese in World War II.  The lack of mental capacity, temperament, decision making, and investment in the United States is apparent.
  5. Patriotism is Dead: Growing up in the 1980s was like a massive injection of testosterone to cure Americans of the pathetic weakness of the 1960s/70s counterculture movement.  Rambo, Commando, Top Gun, GI Joe… everything was geared toward American power and strength.  No one dared question whether or not the American flag was “good.”  It was a criminal act to burn the flag until 1989.  Today, White kids are taught to hate themselves and apologize for their conquering past.  Manifest Destiny is now a source of shame.  Meanwhile, the other class of potential recruits – People of Color – are taught that they are the victims of a uniquely evil American heritage.  Why would either group – White or POC – want to serve in the ranks of an institution grounded in racism, brutality, and savagery, especially for a country that is clearly evil?  You cannot walk those lessons back with Top Gun 2.
  6. Critical Race Theory: Critical Race Theory is now the predominant ideology of the U.S. military and its command.  General Mark Miley openly claimed a desire to address ‘White Rage” at a congressional hearing.  The entire U.S. military stood down to either investigate White Nationalism within the ranks or take seminars to learn more about the evils of White people.  If you are a young person considering a future career, what has become apparent is the following: if you are White, you will be passed over for promotion by a potentially “colored” NCO or officer, because they see your success as a component of your “Whiteness,” which is intolerable.  Remember that according to Professor Derrick Bell, the chief architect of CRT, the very purpose of CRT is a Marxist ideology designed to fully dismantle White societies that he deemed morally repugnant – which included the U.S. military – it seems to have worked.  If I am eighteen-years-old, I can work as a mechanic or plumber making a six-figure salary if I stick to it over the next decade, or I can get stuck as a Spec-4 watching less impressive “soldiers of color” gain promotions over me while I go on the front lines of a war – the choice is obvious.
  7. Attacking the South: The United States – Republicans and Democrats – went total war on Dixie over the past decade.  In effect, they broke an unspoken agreement between the South and the Union.  We were allowed to keep our icons, monuments, and heritage, in return for sending scores of loyal janissaries to serve the Empire.  It was a bad deal, but one which a desperate Dixie took in the aftermath of a brutal Reconstruction Era.  In hindsight, given the multitude of times disingenuous Yankee agents broke their promises, we should have known better.  Hundreds of thousands of young Southern men would still be alive, had the South kept her sons home and let Yankee boys die in Normandy.  Personally, I would gladly trade singing Die Fahne Hoch for visiting German dignitaries to standing for an American National Anthem that literally stands for a hatred of everything I am.  The beautiful thing, however, is that Southern boys are beginning to pay attention.  Talking them out of service has become so much easier than it was ten years ago.  When the entire system hates your heritage, people, race, religion, and culture, it makes it easier to decline an offer to join their ranks.  The U.S. military is killing its opportunities in its best recruiting zone.

Of course, all of this leads to an opportunity.  Practice the following line for any and every chance you get: [point at the recruiter’s office and ask young Southern boys the following question] Is it really worth joining a military that will force you to get an experimental vaccine, in which you will take orders from a man in a dress, and get denied promotions because you are White, and worse, you are a Southerner?  If need be, get business cards with that message.

All Southern Nationalist organizations should be hammering home the same message, creating a chorus in unison aimed at impressionable, young Southern men.  This is the opportunity to finally put a dagger in the heart of an opportunistic and predatory empire.  It is incumbent on Southern Nationalists to remind themselves and their fellow Southerners that the U.S. military was the primary vehicle of a brutal subjugation.  This is the same military institution that marched your grandparents at gun point and bayonet into mixed race schools.  This is the same military that is now tearing down markers of Southern resistance – from renaming bases to the elimination of statues.  This military hates the South and the Southerner.  It always has and it is now simply doubling down on its hatred.  A few officers and NCOs have Southern drawls – but they no longer make the rules.

We must take every opportunity to empower and encourage the military to commit the kind of operational suicide within which it is currently engaged.  The total destruction of the American leviathan is paramount to a Free Dixie.  This is our greatest chance.  Whereas I wish to see no harm to young Southern men in uniform, the seeds of the American military’s destruction have been planted.  The harvest of that crop will be a new dawn for the South.

  1. Another excellent piece. Well done.

    I’m thinking though that their response, since they can’t get the white American citizenry to join their ranks anymore, they’ll double their efforts to enlist foreigners and inner city gang members, who will have no qualms about doing their bidding as long as the money’s there.

    And Die Fahne Hoch? … one of my favorites!

    1. Thank you, German Confederate. We agree on the fact that they will redouble their efforts to get foreigners to serve their wars – likely against White citizens.

      Die Fahne Hoch should be the current anthem.

  2. Along with the negative message (“Don’t join the US military”) we also need a positive alternative. Encourage the joining of local militias; and if none are yet available, the formation of local militia squads. Four or five friends out in the woods honing their shooting skills and other competence should be commonplace.

    1. The sooner Americans, and Southerners in particular, wake up to to the fact that their worst enemies are the politicians and bureaucrats in the putrid town of Washington, District of Corruption, and NOT in Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Russia, or China, the better off we’ll be. By the way, the Feds are fixin to hire 86,000 more IRS agents, and have bought up millions of rounds of ammo….for them. Prepare.

    2. Amen. There is no more important mission for us than training up the younger generations, especially now that the U.S. military is not an option for sane Southerners. Hunting, camping, shooting, boating, all of these great Southern pastimes have tactical benefits, especially when enjoyed in combination. Just don’t use the politically disfavored “m-word.”

  3. Just one addition regarding the war against Serbia. It was a coalition of NATO and the US that attacked Yugoslavia (Serbia-Montenegro). No larger force has ever attacked the smaller country in bombing raids that lasted for 78 days.

    1. That is true, Dixie Serb.

      It is also true that the war against the Serbians was an absolute travesty predicated on a lie. It only happened when the US could exploit a temporarily weakened Russia. Kosovo is Serbian – period.

  4. I was in the army when Rambo came out. The Empire does not know how lucky it was during that time. I knew an officer who had a bumper sticker that read, ” Southern by the grace of God”. Blacks were not treated like pampered victims and we got along fine with them in my unit. Some soldiers were suspected of homosexuality but no one said anything about it. Being in the infantry, we liked that we did not have to deal with women too much. We were quiet about it but that was how we felt. The army was still coping from its defeat in Viet Nam then. Most of the field grades and senior NCO’s were combat vets. There were problems with lower enlisted who were just there for the army college fund. Just my observations of that period of time for what it is worth.

    1. I joined the Marines shortly thereafter, Dogface. That was the way things were at the time for me, too. My father-in-law was career Army, joining at 18 in 1970. He remembers the general malaise of the Army throughout the 70s and the boost of confidence that came back under the Reagan years.

  5. This was, unfortunately a grand article. I would prefer a bitter truth then a bouch of sugar coated lies. I joined the Marine Corps right after I graduated in 1977. I would be very hesitant to do so now. I can’t stand the vile treatment of Southerners by the this country. I am from Indiana, but all my Ancestors were from the South( Virginia, North Carolina). One of them came to Indiana in 1818.

    1. Thank you for the compliment, Warren. I agree, it is a tragedy that we are at this moment of societal collapse.

  6. You’re on a roll Mr. Martin. Most of your articles “seem” to be part of an outline of a CSA II founding manifesto / book / document? I really hope that’s what these are and that you have an equally brilliant plan of how to get such a manifesto INTO THE HANDS OF EVERY WHITE CHRISTIAN SOUTHERNER ( TO QUOTE A KID IN SOME OLD WESTERN MOVIE ), “RIGHT QUICK PA!” I would offer : think mlm downline, in addition to podcasts. What the south needs is a Padraig Martin to replace woketard phony Joe Rogan.

    Of course everything you mention has been done by design. The enemy ( satan ), is the head of the octopus ( or pyramid or spectre if you wish ), which has many tentacles … one of many is our military. To win you will need Gods Devine intervention. I think you are likely a key player on his field. It would be a shame if not. For such talent to be wasted only on ‘the choir,’ especially at such a critical point in time … would be devastating.

    When you study Civil War history you cringe at all the blunders made by certain Generals. If only they somehow ‘knew what was going to happen,’ they could’ve adjusted their strategies. GOD does know what’s going to happen. Seek Him diligently as you move forward. WE are the elect! He will help us “restructure” the ( bible belt ) south and the rest of America. It begins with as many whites as possible having your writings in their hands … right quick pa …

    1. Thank you, Josey Wales. As always, your compliments are humbling.

      Beginning this week, we will begin “Dixie on the Rocks,” a podcast hoping to counter some of the messaging from the Empire.

      God Bless,

  7. YOU guys are completely blind to what the northerners are planning to do to you,THEIR GOING TO DROP NUCLEAR WEAPONS ON MOST SOUTHERN CITIES,and they’ll start with MIAMI,if you don’t chase the US MILITARY AND ALL THE US GOVERNMENT OUT OF THE SOUTH…well you’ll learn their plans the hard way…the entire east coast will be destroyed..new york to miami…and really they should start with WASHINGTON DC…

    1. It’s no longer just “the northerners” Arizona. It’s the Babylon ‘system.’ It’s the deep state. It’s a hand full of filthy satan worshiping child molesting scum who’ve gotten “their people” into hijacked gate keeper positions everywhere.

      When you hear “all politics are local,” it’s true but it means you and me. Does it start with the local city council / county commission? No. It STARTS with you and me … THEN onto them … and so on …

  8. Excellent article!!! Love the part about the South!! For full disclosure, I’m from Ohio yet chose to live in St Augustine. I adopted the South by choice and am offended at those who want to take away the great heritage!! I’ve been here for 30 plus years and still try to act like a visitor who wants to get invited back again.
    Look forward to more great articles!

      1. OMG! Sir, love your books and podcasts!! If ya ever want to toss a few in the oldest city, you are always welcome in my house!👍🇺🇸

    1. Hello David,

      I was married in St Augustine. It is my beloved town and I am there frequently. That which they did to the Confederate obelisk in the town square is absolutely infuriating. I pray we eventually find ourselves in a Free Florida and return the monuments to their rightful place.

      Thank you for the contribution!

  9. Not bad except for the statement that said we hardly manufacture anything in this country anymore. In terms of gross manufacturing we make more here than we ever have in our entire history and that is easily looked up and verified. The reason we overlook that is because as a percentage of our overall economy it has shrunk considerably. Words mean things, we should be careful to use them appropriately.

    1. Besides trannies, single moms, and microchips, what does the United States, a fragile-service economy, manufacture more now than the entire history of the country?

      I’ve been looking, but all the textile manufacturing jobs in Carolina closed down when I was in elementary school.

      1. Hello Haven Monahan,

        That which was done to the Carolinas – from textiles to furniture – is treasonous and criminal. Those CEOs exploited good people and destroyed lives when those jobs went to China. We will eventually get them back.

        God Bless,
        Padraig Martin

    2. Hello Veritas,

      A couple of points on the manufacturing indices. Much of that which is manufactured in the US is final assembly work – not soup to nuts. Second, there is a little known provision in the US codes called “duty drawback.” In essence, it is a means to determine a value of a good and pay no duty on the imported components when it is re-exported, provided the value is increased beyond 51%. That incentivizes companies to bring in the fully assembled product, excluding name branding, slap the name brands on the goods and ship them back out as a “US manufacturing export.” There is an entire sector of licensed customs brokers who make money getting import tariffs back for those “exporters.”. Finally, certain sectors are growing, but not as they once did. Aerospace, for example, needs to be manufactured in a home country due to “grey market” provisions and FAA parts tracking; daily consumables, sundries, and quality of life products (e.g., furniture), are not. Much of what we see as economic activity is really a shell game.

  10. Padraig,
    Another great article. Scottish northerner here but Citadel grad. Military changed in 1990 with Bush I. I bailed a few years after that. My El Cid profs were WWII veterans, a much different breed than today. There is no going back.
    RL

    1. Thank you for the compliment, RL.

      I was in the Marines about the same time, and I agree, you could feel the change in real time between 1990-1994.

      God Bless,
      Padraig Martin

  11. in addition the Military is about to kick out tens of thousands of the un injected troops. And the ones who did get the Injections have a deadly spike protein clogging up their veins and destroying their cardiovascular system.

  12. Sir you say everything but what God has to say about all this. I suggest Romans and the Revelation. Or is your book Mein Kampf?

    1. While I don’t believe the author of Mein Kampf was a born again, bible-believing Christian, he promoted some solidly Christian values for man and society: much more so than many American politicians who profess Christianity while promoting Talmudism.

      1. For 1200 years his family’s historical mission was to uphold the interest of the faith temporally in the interest of thrown and alter and sword and cross that was the political basis of Christendom and which found the highest expression in the Holy Roman Empire. His ancestors occupied the thrown and wielded the sword during the 5 centuries before 1918. In that year, the empire—became by then the Austro-Hungarian one—was dissolved as a condition for peace demanded by US President Woodrow Wilson at the end of WW1.
        It is Blessed Emperor Karl’s 100 year anniversary of his passing. He died in exile in Madeira Portugal. 1922.
        That’s the world in which Hitler fought for and saw destroyed in WW1.
        Woodrow Wilson got elected president by telling Americans he would keep them out of WW1.

  13. I commented to a man from New England recently that I experienced more shody treatment while in New England than I ever did in foreign ports overseas. All I had to do was speak. Once the Northerners heard my Southern drawl that was all it took.
    I am all in favor of a New Confederacy. I have watched my heritage trampled on as my history has been erased, my heritage erased, statues to Southern heros vandalized and even removed. Monument Ave. in Richmond is no more as beautiful works of art were destroyed to the cheers of racist blacks and white apologists.

    1. Hello Wydah,

      Every day I breathe, I work toward a Free Dixie. May it happen in our lifetime.

      God Bless,

  14. Outstanding essay.
    I used to see this bumper sticker in South Carolina:
    “If at first you don’t secede, try try again.”
    It used to be said in jest.

    1. Hello Matt,

      First, I would like to state that I am a fan of your written work. I humbled by the compliment from such an accomplished author. Second, I live in Baker County and I am in Clay frequently. At my next gathering, I would gladly meet for a drink, as there is much happening in Florida and those of us in Northern Florida are in the thick of the action.

    2. My fav is: “Fightin’ terrorists since 1861” with the ANV square flag prominently displayed.

      Had some old goats from Whis-Kahn-son pull up behind me one time. Could tell they were reading it. Upon passing me they were giving me all sorts of stink eye. lol

  15. It’s all planned out.
    The millions of young fighting age illegals will be granted citizenship after service in .mil… They will follow any order as they have no allegiance to the Constitution.
    We’re all Palestinians now😬

    1. I am inclined to agree with you, Rick.

  16. Besides thanking Mr. Martin for yet another great article, I wanted to respond to Mr. Whydah and apologize on behalf of those disgraceful New Englanders for the lack of respect you were accorded as a result of merely speaking. As a northerner, I too have witnessed similar irrational hatred (and fear) of the south and I’d like to share a humorous yet also rather pathetic experience I once had at work. Being deep behind enemy lines on a college campus, a colleague of mine noticed of all things a Confederate battle flag sticker adorning the truck bumper of a contractor doing work on our building. The snowflake, who on other occasions expressed his unease in the presence of “blue collar” people, was not only triggered by seeing this symbol, but actually proceeded to report the sighting to the campus police. He proceeded to alert others in our department of what he saw and the swift actions he took to respond. I’m unaware of what if anything became of the truck and its owner, but my coworker was certainly self-satisfied.

    In sharing this story, I’d like to underscore the point that not all northerners despise the South, its people, its history and traditions. Far from it. Say what you will about the Ken Burns series, “The Civil War”, but it was the spark that first ignited my love of the South and instilled a deep admiration for its many heroes, ultimately leading me, many decades later, to habitually reading this very website. Perhaps, underneath it all, the northerner is simply jealous of you Southern Men. For I believe it was when General Lee was riding through Pennsylvania to Gettysburg that a woman looked out her window and seeing him seated perfectly erect on his horse, she said something to the effect of, “I wish he were ours.” Historians here, please correct me and or expand upon this story.

    In any case, to this I say, keeping retelling the stories of your heroic men. May it inspire your young men and de-propagandize the rest. Truth has a certain ring to it.

  17. Politics and physical fittness aside, I’m honestly surprised that any young Americans qualify for the US military in 2022.

    Situation that happened this weekend to me is a real microcosom of society writ large: I gave my number to a chick who was working at a trendy youth-oriented store at the mall this weekend. After she contacted me, said I was THE ONLY ONE who had even approached her in the FOUR MONTHS she’d been working there.

    Like, the “kids these days” (it feels weird for me to say given I’m in my early-30s) are completely socially messed up. They’ve spent the last 2 years in a weird Covid-19 social experiment where everyone was ailenated from everyone else and many of them, maybe even the vast bulk, literally can’t function or do basic things IRL.

    How on Earth is the military able to find anyone with enough IRL “situational awareness” to EG navigate an obstacle course or do things that don’t require the use of screens?

    This trend has been happening for awhile, but its really amped up since 2020. Its being talked about by some people, IIRC Tucker’s mentioned it… but its a huge deal and isn’t getting anywhere near enough attention.

    Even the most decadent empires in history didn’t have the kids of smartphone / technology induced retardation that America has these days. Not Sodom & Gommorah, not Babylon, not Rome, no one.

    1. Something we can agree on Benjamin: The “technology induced retardation of America.” It’s rife in the PMC (professional managerial class) of most companies and educational institutions.

      1. The only conclusion I can arrive at is that these smartphones and Internet services are being foisted onto the populace with deliberate malevolent intent.

        Like, it took decades for mainstream society to recognize the dangers of smoking… but smoking is something that literally takes decades to manifest negative health effects. If you start in your teenage years, you might not get cancer or whatnot until your 40s or 50s, if not later, and possibly never at all.

        But with smartphones, its patently obvious that “something isn’t right” with the kids. That kind of thing manifests much earlier.

        At least smoking is a fun social thing to do when you’re hanging out with some peeps outside a bar. I’ve never yet met a person whose said “yes, my life quality has improved since I purchased my first smartphone”.

        Get the Android Palm if you want a phone that’s far less addictive. Thing’s so tiny its difficult to text using the onscreen keyboard, and the battery life is atrocious— 1% drained per minute. Forces you to not be constantly on it when you’re out-and-about

  18. Padraig what can I say but your line of thinking mirrors my own exactly.Great article and wisdom.I will be back tomorrow to read the great comments section which I have not the time for now.The Horst Wessel Lied is one of my favorites.It hurts my soul to remember stories of Southern men killed in WW2 just from my mothers small town.Why were such men taken from the families who loved them and brainwashed to fight fellow Whites and murder them.The Jew is worse than their father Satan.They have outdone him.So many Southern men and German men made to destroy each other for the enjoyment of the Jew.When will this madness end.I ask myself why God allows us to suffer and for so long.Still we must hold on and trust God not to forget us.The final victory is already won for us.May the Lord bless you and all here in good faith.
