We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

The US Navy is celebrating Earth Day… is this some kind of joke? The US Navy, who job it is to, well you know, kill people when directed to, it proudly celebrating Earth Day.
No doubt this is a strategy to cause the ships of the Chinese Navy to collide, their captains unable to issue orders due to tears of mirth and uncontrollable fits of laughter.
If anyone doubted the western world’s political class and their retainers have been utterly debased … well, here we have proof positive… I can only hope we snap out of it collectively, before it is too late and the congruent cultural decline leaves us with the future prospects of Carthage. And no, I do not accept that it is already too late, and will ignore the usual wailing suicide note comments that suggest otherwise 😉

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

They are only obeying orders…
The graphic points out that Earth Day was founded by Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, so there is a naval link of sorts, if only a surname. Oddly enough, I found this link on the picture, is someone having a little joke back?

Meanwhile in Russia they were preparing for scorched Earth day
Give over Perry! The USN about 1980-ish seriously considered using THAT Village Peoplesong for recruitment.
The secret of a military career is inspired truckling to one’s superiors. Change the person at the top and the action changes, although not the truckling. If you want to avoid Naval Earth Days, elect someone immune to the blandishments of environmentalism.
Oh, that’s nothing. Try this on for size.

Apparently, the plan is to make the enemy die laughing.

And the men of the ROTC are made to march in red high heals – to show their support for the cause of feminism.
It is not just political indoctrination of the military.
It is more just the desire to HUMILATE them.
Remember the P.C. (or “Critical Theory”) class, hate and despise the military – they want to degrade and humiliate them.
And the military (brainwashed with the doctrine that they must always obey the civilian government) let them do it.
Indeed the most senior officers organise all this stuff – remember Mr Obama and co have been appointing the senior officers for more than six years.
Nor is the military immune for the education system and culture – the thing that “practical” people say does not matter.
Meanwhile the United States remains wide open to electro magnetic pulse (and other) attack.
And the United States Navy and Air Force continue to collapse.
No Nick, THAT at least makes perfect sense… after all Navies run on rum, sodomy and the lash!
The Blairmacht, as the British Armed Forces should properly be called, now give out awards for ‘battling misogyny in Afghanistan’. The risks of working with the Afghan Army or Police are well-known, but misogyny is the least concern.

Not only ‘Earth hour’! The U.N. seems determined to assign a cause to every day! how about a ‘Cause-free’ Day, when nobody is allowed to solicit donations or promote any cause? now that’s a cause that deserves its own day!
Perry, are you sure that poster wasn’t from The Onion?
Mr. Ed has already noted that Earth Day was founded by Sen. Gaylord Nelson. He was from Wisconsin. The relevance of that can be seen by reading the next post up.
Laird, it’s a joke alright, here’s what appears to me to be the White House official blog:

And from the DoD website:

All we need is a Zampolit and Company Agitators and the Soviet Navy is reborn.
A bit off topic but I have always wondered if factories that produce Nuclear weapons or nerve gas actually recycle waste paper and those plastic coffee cups “to save the environment”?
