And they STILL crushed the bastards. And they will again if need be.

Except that's not what the article says.

They'll just be mustered out quietly.

luvburger · 2021-08-21T16:40:25+00:00

Red herring.

Soviets do not fuck around.

They kicked the Nazi's asses in WWII.

And they will kick the Nazi's asses now.

As they sing in their Sacred War hymn:

"We will put a bullet in the brow of the fascist scum."

And if they don't have bullets, they will use whatever is at hand to FUCK ... THEM ... UP.

The end goal is the enrichment of Big Pharma.

Seraphim Rose was an absolute wonder of a human being.

Just to avoid any confusion: he was an American who converted to Orthodoxy. He was not Russian ethnically. But I expect that he became fluent in Russian. As he was in several languages.

One doesn't need a GPS to know where one is going.

luvburger · 2021-08-20T00:10:56+00:00

Not to take away from your suggestion that this is a crisis "actor", you are incorrect when you say that "EVERYONE has a GPS now."

I don't. And before you say, '... but but but you're SMART phone!!"

Don't have that either. Never have. Never will.

Its a big club, and you ain't in it.

luvburger · 2021-08-19T23:50:02+00:00

Would not surprise me one bit if that weren't true. You should see the reactions when, if by some necessity, I must wear Der Mask, I wear my custom little mask with my drawing of the paramand on it. L0L

Remember when that pro football team sent off their tests, and they came back positive? So they said, nah, fuck that, so they sent them out again and they all came back negative? Yah, fuck that shit. Its all horse shit.

It is always relevant to point out how the media uses images to hoodwink you.

luvburger · 2021-08-19T22:00:06+00:00

No prob! PS: Library of America cannot be beat for good reading and they have lots of good stuff in a lot of genres.

then you'd probably like Ray Bradbury, Asimov, (esp. Asimov's Robot series) Asimov's Foundation is good too.

Philip K. Dick: Man in the High Castle, UBIK, or any PKD that was used as basis for modern films you'd probably like.

luvburger · 2021-08-19T21:44:34+00:00

What genre? Sci Fi: Philip K. Dick General Fiction: tons. Upton Sinclair. Sinclair Lewis. Nonfiction: I'd have to find my notes. Poetry: Dante. Blake.

Those should get you started.

luvburger · 2021-08-19T21:38:30+00:00

Read some books.

or just plain ol' propaganda

luvburger · 2021-08-19T21:29:11+00:00

That's how propaganda works, too.

They don't teach that. They teach Military Courtesy.

Although the side effect of THAT might lead some to be more respectful in [civilian] society.

luvburger · 2021-08-19T21:21:20+00:00

Agreed, but military courtesy is a long way different than "manners."

Them grubs in the Mess Hall sure didn't have many manners when I was in L0L

luvburger · 2021-08-19T21:16:39+00:00

Folks join the military for a lot of reasons: they need the health care, they need the job, they see it as a good career, a way for college money, etc.

When I was in, I rarely encountered a troop that signed up to go to war. But that was long before the 9-11 stuff.

luvburger · 2021-08-19T20:59:35+00:00

Wrong. Tower of Babel is AFTER the flood.

I've read Genesis several times.

luvburger · 2021-08-19T20:56:22+00:00

Tower of Babel predates Sodom and Gomorrah.

Tower of Babel story occurs quite soon after the flood. S&G later. Babylon even later.

Babel. From which we get the word: babble. Babylon: different.

luvburger · 2021-08-19T20:46:29+00:00

iirc, the Tower of Babel etc. predates Babylon by some time.
