Before the Flood - The New Yorker

Before the Flood - The New Yorker



"If the dam ruptured, it would likely cause a catastrophe of Biblical proportions, loosing a wave as high as a hundred feet that would roll down the Tigris, swallowing everything in its path for more than a hundred miles. Large parts of Mosul would be submerged in less than three hours. Along the riverbanks, towns and cities containing the heart of Iraq’s population would be flooded; in four days, a wave as high as sixteen feet would crash into Baghdad, a city of six million people. “If there is a breach in the dam, there will be no warning,” Alwash said. “It’s a nuclear bomb with an unpredictable fuse.”

The pathetic remnant of the American left

Three days in and Trump has already kept one pledge - PaulCraigRoberts.org



Clearly, the pathetic remnant of the American left has more hate for those who stand up for the working class than they have for those oppressing the working class and those fomenting war. 



Why did the women so quick to march against Trump not march against the Clinton, Bush/Cheney, and Obama regimes for killing, maiming, orphaning, widowing, and dislocating millions of peoples in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Pakistan, Yemen, Libya, and Syria?



Answer:  mindless lack of critical thinking, herd instinct, the same kind of impetus that turned Germany into the Nazi state.  The same fuel behind the Political Correctness movement.  Among humans, more fall prey to mindless following than critical thinking.  Critical thinking takes work.  Mindlessness....none at all.
