Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

I am old enough to remember during the 60's that Sweden and most of Europe and even Canada would tsk tsk at America as we struggled with "racism". Why couldn't we just all get along. They would look down their nose at us so self confident that they would treat other cultures better. They were a little bit happy that we were failing this test of accommodation and acceptance and couldn't understand what our problem was. Surely the violence and riots were justified and white America was racist. And of course at that time those countries were lilly white. That was so long ago and far away. I doubt any of those sanctimonious people are still around to say "now I understand". It is a clash of culture where the differences are more important to the minority and the anger is more common in the minority and the cause is more likely the lack of concern or attention by the majority. If the majority doesn't show proper deference and shower down free stuff than they are racists. If you try to live and let live you are racists. If the minority's own culture is the cause of their own downfall then YOU are racists.

But now an understanding is forming in Sweden and Ireland and Germany and even Canada that the racism problem seems to mostly originate in the minority and that it only seems to become a social or legal problem when the minority doesn't feel special or when one of the "fucks around and finds out" and that can be twisted to their advantage. I'm sure, from my safe distance from Sweden, that the Muslim minority has a legitimate reason to throw hand grenades and firebombs and rape white women. I am confident that if the Swedish majority simply gives them more free stuff and exempts them from the consequences of their "fucking around" that all will be well. I wish Sweden, and Germany and yes, even Canada well in their effort to deal with their racist ways. Sorry France it's too late for you, you really fucked up and imported so many French hating minorities that you will soon find out you are terminally screwed.

    United States, 2022: 6.3
Number of shootings in Sweden from 2017 to 2023

(The homicide rate in the United States appears to be declining towards the pre-pandemic rate.)

Percent of homicides in Sweden committed by minority immigrants 95%.

JustMe: Percent of homicides in Sweden committed by minority immigrants 95%.

There is little doubt that immigrants are a source of organized crime, just as they have been in the past. In any case, please provide support for your claims.

JustMe: Percent of bullshit stuffed into the data to make it look like homicides and violent crime is declining in the U.S. 100%.

Homicides are among the most accurately counted crime statistics. But sure, please provide support for your claim.

'SWEDEN SHAKEN BY CRISIS OF VIOLENCE'

" ‘Ireland Is Full,’ Say Thousands in Dublin" We have been to Ireland five times beginning in earlier 2000. We loved it immediately especially since it reminded us of the US when we were growing up. Each time we visited we could see the change quickly. I actually remembering them voting to be able to use birth control and things seemed to go down from there. There was no mass cell phone use as towers weren't built in the rural areas yet and while eating the families talked to each other during the meal. No one was hovering over their cell phones. We did notice the young mother's were the least friendly and were behaving more like the young women in the US. Each visit we could wee more change and we were sad the country was changing so. The last visit there were a lot of "migrants" and cell phone use was across the board. At meals the families were no longer talking to each other and just looking at their cell phones. In Dublin the shop owners had to watch the "migrants" because of the theft. Last trip we decided Ireland was no longer Ireland and made it our last trip. Viewing a class picture from a small town school where at least half the class was non whites and probably non Christian was very sad for the real people of Ireland. It is here now and changing our culture damn you Biden and friends.

And understand this was not some spontaneous migration. It was a conspiracy to migrate third world ignorant violent people into Western countries with the intent of creating chaos and ultimately neutering/weaking/dividing those countries so that a new world order could take control and rule, I mean RULE, over the world. To the extent that our politicians and activists are cooperating is pure suicide/traitorous and must be stopped before we are destroyed. The sheeple need to wake up. But I don't really see that happening. It is like that meme where the cattle are walking up the ramp into the slaughter house and one of the bulls named Ralph is saying this doesn't look right. And the cow behind Ralph is saying there goes Ralph again with his crazy conspiracy theories.

And yet you wouldn't think this is so hard to see and understand. The Democrats/communists have upped their game and are now in full bore voter replacement effort like never before and the sheeple still snicker at the replacement theory conspiracy. You would think that with China killing over 100,000 of our youth with Fentanyl every year that we would rise up and demand action. You would think that having 100's of thousands of military age Chinese men sneaking across our border this year that we would at least go to some kind of alert level at the federal level. But congress is more interested in sending billions and billions and billions to terrorists and foreign wars and to feed the poor terrorists who hate our guts and are right now planning to destroy us. It is a frigging insane asylum/cluster fuck in congress and all the news will tell us is that a convicted perjurer hates DJT. FOX is the only news that ever shows the border invasion.

California cannot account for $20 billion dollars spent to fight homelessness, LOL. They are $100 billion over budget for the train to no where. And Newsome/total fuckup is likely to be our next president!!! Newsome scares me. He is related to and connected with people who truly want to destroy our country. He's certainly not the only person like that but he is the only one for that traitorous bunch who is likely to be elected/appointed to president. Beware Newsome he is all four of the horsemen of the apocalypse.

One of the neat things about living in the 2020’s is that conspiracy theories turn out to be true in a few weeks to a year.

Big news last week, that didn’t get reported anywhere but Epoch Times, at least that I saw, Ivermectin pulled their Covid drug off the market. It was just a short time ago that you would be ridiculed for suggesting that Covid vaccines cause blood clotting.

Cuomo was a slow learner but even he eventually caught onto using ivermectin. What was the most disappointing is that the Mayo Clinic in Rochester got caught up in the waffling game. Sad.

The problem is that Ireland joined the European Union, so when Brussels says "Admit millions of Muslims", it's difficult for Dublin to refuse. Ireland needs an #IrExit to take back their island. First it was Vikings, and Danes, then Normans, and English, and now Arabs...
#4.2 Ken Mitchell on 2024-05-11 16:57 (Reply)
That's the crazy, part Ken.

Ireland fought to be free of their English masters for 100s of years. When they finally achieve that they turn around and submit themselves to EU rule. They have no grounds for complaint. Turns out the Irish didn't really want freedom after all.
#4.2.1 feeblemind on 2024-05-11 17:41 (Reply)
The Irish do indeed want freedom. Perhaps 70-80% of the Irish never wanted this immigration and don't benefit from it. But there are some who do benefit it and they have chosen to invest the time and energy to get elected or appointed to a position of power where they can make it happen in spite of the overwhelming majority who oppose it. The problem is simply that the common man, the good citizen, the honest fairminded individual is busy living their life. They don't want a position of power and they vote in people who claim to be fairminded and will abide by the wishes of the majority but then turn around and screw the very people that elect them. There is a simple solution to this; remove the traitor from office by any means possible. It isn't an easy solution the traitors will band together and hunt you down but it is in the end the only solution. So some old Irish gentleman, perhaps someone who "resisted" the English and is now too old to care should take it upon himself to find and eliminate the worst traitor. He may be killed in the process but such is the fate of heros. Or he may go to jail for the rest of his very short life. Then another very old Irish gentleman who loves his country repeats the process. A simple process of embracing the spirit of your Celtic ancestors and restoring your rightful heritage. Don't tell anyone, don't share your plans or collude with others, just do it and be that fearless Celtic warrior your great, great, great grandfather was...

Similar to the way that 4 million Muslims have managed to be elected to a large number of city mayorships and other elected offices, and are now making it easy to greatly increase Muslim immigration.

It is the same with Australia. We have been going there every four or five years for the past 25 years. Gradually we saw Australians being trained by "agents of change from America". That is to say professionals from the US were sent to Australia to challenge their culture. For example, private religious schools are free from teaching homosexuality. I have met two men--one American young professional gay guy and one older retired professional Australian. Both of these men were trained in the US to attack religious schools. They use false claims, they use well-formed media articles (written in the US), they use any means the Seattle or Chicago mafia uses to win over the hearts and minds. That decline from a culture that we recognized as being a reflection of us 40 years ago--that decline is intentionally done by those in power in the US and DAVOS.

Hysterics for Hamas... First and foremost is to acquire the 'victim' label. Without the label the cult merely become just another troublesome cult of the mentally unstable. Feminist, Islamist, BLM, antifa, Marxist, environmentalist, or generic socialist needs AND requires the victim label. And there is plenty of overlap in these cult gangs.
