  1. Steam engines saved an awful lot of back breaking toil, and opened up a myriad of other labour saving devices

  3. Well said. The narrative has been properly skewed

  14. That's one reading, and I'm deeply dubious about the reach of the MIC myself ( Dr Strangelove is one of my favourites). However, post Iron Curtain, and the French being hoofed out of Indochina, the need to stop the expansion of communist influence seems to fit with the subsequent pattern of warfare (from Korea to Angola). At least, until 9/11. And reading between the lines, it's possible to infer how that history unfolds. The Palestinians/( Arab cause) were keen on hijacking aeroplanes prior to that. (e.g. Entebbe)

  22. They call it "controlling the narrative" now. Thankfully, there are other voices in the wilderness, and The Ministry of Truth isn't getting it all it's own way

  23. To a certain extent. Though the lesson from history might be that if you're not territorial, you're going to get wiped out by someone that is

  24. Noone claimed to be. The fallibility was in the history books too

  25. That's what he's going up against

  26. Bit of a sweeping generalisation perhaps, but maybe I'm not a liberal. And maybe many liberals are not as liberal as they like to think they are
