Really how has Washington DC behaved any different than London did during the height of its Empire?
Posted by Mostafa Safavi in All about Washington D.C. on December 6th, 2011
Question by Trout: Really how has Washington DC behaved any different than London did during the height of its Empire?
The east India trading company — becomes NATO in Afghanistan
The wars of succession became liberation wars
Civilising the world by building roads becomes a no bid building contract in Iraq
Black operations are renamed false flags
London 1800 to 1950 and the US from 1950 on — How have they behaved any differenly ?
Expansionist — heavy reliance on the Naval forces moves to the air force — but both rely on military dominance lies setting internal struggles and so on
So how have they behaved differently in any real sense of the word
Mad Baron
No one is trying to hide it and so it seems to remain hidden in plain sight right in front of everyone
I don’t know a lot about Soviet history the red scare did not occur in Canada the way it did in the US Our government really never tries to involve us too deeply in what they worry about because they would prefer not to have our imput and putting something like the red scare before us at that time would have lead to millions of questions that the government would not have appreciated — so they stuck with the tried and true and said nothing — Hence no red scare amongst the population hence no interest in looking up their history
Son of hades
No no the US does it daily while controlling the media — EVERY DAY your killing civilians EVERY day

Will there be more crime than usual?
Best answer:
Answer by mary z
Probably less crime. There will be cops and national guard troops everywhere. It is probably going to be one of the safest times to be in DC. Of course there will still be pick pockets and things like that so just be aware. PS..I would not venture into Southeast D.C. or anywhere around the naval yards.

On Canal Street in NYC, will they still sell things even near the holidays and if so what kind of stuff will they sell, and where can i go for a very good deal on like lacoste shirts and stuff like that???
Best answer:
Answer by adi
Yeah Canal Street is actually really crowded during the holiday season. I actually went there yesterday where I bought this really cute knock off Dolce and Gabbana purse and Boss belt. There really isn’t a specific store, they sell it all over. I don’t think there are any Lacoste shirts, at least, i haven’t seen any.

I know there are cheap deals for monthly rentals, but I’m a poor college student and I need the cheapest deal. I could purchase a cheap car but I don’t know how much insurance would be. I just want as many responses a I can get so I know what’s out there and what I should consider.
