  2. They set the LEDs to run overcurrent and extra-bright, so they'll burn out. I know of several that have modified the bulbs by limiting the current, which will greatly extend the life. It's done by popping off the plastic bulb, and modifying the rectifier board; generally by changing a resistor.

  3. "Manners maketh man." That phrase has its origins from "the work of William Horman who was headmaster of Eton and then Winchester in the late 15th century. Winchester College still retains "manners makyth man" as its motto, as does New College, Oxford, both of which were founded by William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester, in the 14th century." "The Vulgaria, a Latin textbook published in 1519, is considered the most important of Horman's surviving works. It is a collection of English phrases with their Latin translations with a strong leaning towards topics such as manners, religion and natural history. Vulgar is Latin for "common" or "pertaining to the common/ordinary people." Thus vulgaria essentially translates as "common things" or "everyday sayings", as such it's safe to assume that most if not all of the expressions in the book were in common use at the time." Everyone could learn from this, today, especially the young, who shouldn't want to be seen as common vulgarians.

  4. I actually witnessed a conversation within the comments for a video on YT several years back, by some in France, who wished Louis XIV was back, and that the RCC still controlled the monarchy in France. You could tell that they were devout Catholics.

  5. Bacchanalia (swingers) parties. They have them everywhere, but some are invite-only for the elite. That's where the idea of the masks originates. Kubrick obtained the idea for this movie from an older story, Traumnovelle, which was about an elite Bacchanalia party ages ago.

  6. What should occur in Portland is what occurred in Pre-WWII Germany with Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht of the KPD, as well as those tried in Hamburg. About the KPD: "Under Thälmann's leadership the party directed most of its attacks against the Social Democratic Party of Germany, which it regarded as its main adversary and referred to as "social fascists"; the KPD considered all other parties in the Weimar Republic to be "fascists". -- Wikipedia on the KPD Does the above sound familiar today, about calling all their opponents fascists?

  7. One could argue that it has been tried with Robert Owen's New Lanark mill, which is what Engels loved. That was corporate control of everything concerning the worker, and it was a form of enslavement, because it made the worker completely dependent on the factory owner. If you didn't get along, or your output in labor wasn't enough, you could be booted out with nothing but the clothes on your back. You didn't own anything, except for the essentials, such as clothing, which was bought by company script, not government currency. Sadly, this idea was taken up by the mining industry, for a time, which was what the first labor unions worked so hard to quash.

  8. The worst of it started three years before 1971, with Alexander King (scientist), in 1968, and the club that he and several others founded, after they gained a following of industrialists and “scientists” from MIT to tout their line. Everything, including the EMF, grew from that. Even the creation of the EU revolves around what was later created over the OEEC and OECD, where King was the Director-General of Scientific Affairs. All of it, CC and sustainability, was a product of King and his minions. "In 1957, King joined the European Productivity Agency (EPA) as Director in Paris, subsequently becoming Director-General for Scientific Affairs at the OECD. At the OECD, "he initiated the Science Policy Surveys, which took a critical look at the state of science and technology in the OECD countries. Among other things, his initiatives encouraged new forms of education." He retired from the OECD in 1974, taking up the chairmanship of the International Federation of Institutes of Advanced Studies (IFIAS), an organisation based in Stockholm."

  10. Everyone generally knows about Justitia or Dike's statue, where she's blindfolded while carrying a sword in one hand and scales in another. However, there is also another statue that's generally shown with her, which people need to study, and that is Prudentia or Prudence staring into her mirror for self-reflection. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

  11. TV shows are bad to claim that everyone is “Scots-Irish.” When you compare surnames, it's not that at all. In Kentucky and Virginia, the majority are English names, with a few Scots and Irish here and there. I'll bet that is true for almost every state south of the Mason-Dixon line.

  12. To be honest, Jackie was a bit of an airhead, though most of Jack's women were that way. She is the perfect example of a wife that "stood by her man," all the while knowing of his exploits, much like HRC. There was a story about Jack once looking into a mirror, where he stated that he was just so good-looking, to where some have said he was a narcissist. That was told by Bobby Baker.

  13. Woke, in reality, is the true mindset of the progressives, which they have kept hidden until these last few years. One can read about the history of Henry Adams, the great-grandson of John Adams (2nd US Pres.), who was a well-known figurehead of the progressives. One can read what he wrote about individualism standing in the way of progressivism, and how he was an ardent antisemite who hated banks and lending, thus, capitalism. In his writing, he explained how progressivism has much of its roots in German post-secondary education.

  14. The reason that Sumer is important, is that it is the origin of what became the three monotheisms and their religious myths. Ur was supposedly the home of Abraham. However, just southwest of there is Eridu, which is said to be the origin of the myth of Eden, with Adam (Adapa), and the flood story with Noah (Ziusudra). Some of Sargon's tales, later on, can be matched to Moses as well. South of there, at Dilmun, or Telmun, was where the myth of Eve supposedly originated.

  15. Do you know how US ambassadors are selected? It's about who donates the most to the incoming president's and party's war chest. Think of people, such as industrialists, bankers, or heads of lobbying firms, becoming foreign ambassadors. The British Ambassador is the most prized seat.

  17. The Pontic–Caspian steppe was where the Scythians originated, where the horse was first domesticated, and the wheel invented. The Bible mentions them as Gog from Magog, and the Hebrews called them God's Whip. It was said that the Egyptians feared them enough to quickly pay them off in gold when they showed up. It was also said that the most ancient tribes, from the steppe, were absorbed by the Scythians later on. One can also find their origins mentioned in the tale about the Cyclops and Polyphemus: "the Celts (Galati in Latin, Γάλλοi in Greek) were descended from their son Galatos, while Appian credited them with three children, Celtus, Illyrius and Galas, from whom descend the Celts, the Illyrians, and the Gauls respectively." They spread west and conquered.

  20. In my library, I have several books on propaganda, persuasion, manipulation, and thought reform. I would suggest that anyone who can purchase at least two books on these subjects, buy them, and thoroughly read them.

  22. History, you'll learn, which is written about and spoken of by the media, is cherry-picked for details. The unscrupulous only pick points in history that they wish the viewer or reader to hear or read; it's one-sided most of the time. In fact, it's propaganda. Very few historians give an accurate view of both sides when writing about it, and that is due to political bias. Facts and truth generally lies somewhere in between both sides, and sometimes, not there at all, but somewhere else.

  23. The question you have to ask is what benefit does some seek by running for office. It is simple, really; it's money. Politicians know what corporations will do well, or fail, over new laws, regulations, and military actions the government will perform before anyone else, and they know which stocks to purchase, and what to dump. To anyone outside of government, that would be insider trading, but those in government are allowed to do it.

  24.  @postmodernmining  The only difference between the Soviet state and Robert Owen's mill, was that it switched from full corporate control over the worker, to full state control. Those that refused to comply, or those that were seen as not sharing the load, were either shot, or sent to the gulags, instead of being booted from the mill. I cannot fathom why some still want to live while being enslaved to the state.

  27. Many ancient people, the leaders of their tribes, later, became known as gods, along with natural phenomenon. The ancient king's list, from Sumer, is where Adapa (Adam), from Eridu, was listed as one of the founding seven sages, and one of the early kings, who they also deified. He became the father of us all, in myth.

  29. You can pretty much read what Dugin wrote to find what Putin believes. Saying that, the history is moot if a group of people wish to break away and create their own nation, which is self-determination. His other excuse was “denazification,” which is a weak argument, and NATO. The truth is, nations do not war with each other over that, it's about their economies, natural resources, and money. Russia wishes to control those resources in Ukraine, and they also wish to keep NATO at arms length.

  30. That was what Jefferson wanted, but it's nowhere within the Constitution. He was a deist, and he knew that the Federalists were religious, with some still beholding to the crown. He also knew that the new gov was set up like Britain's, where they wanted to make Washington a monarch, at first, and entomb him in the basement of the capital building. They even designed the capital building after St Paul's Cathedral in London, and when they were revived under the Whigs, they built the Washington Monument, an obelisk, which all religious buildings have close to them, such as this or a tall column. The monument, in this case, is straight down the Mall, and is almost in line with the WH as well. It has to do with the divine right of kings in the Federalist's view. It's why Congress still has a chaplain, prayer, and why we swear an oath.

  33. That second type of liberalism originated, in the US, with the westward expansion and manifest destiny. It has never stopped, except for outside expansion after WWII. This, especially after the Civil War, led to the behemoth-sized centralized government that now exists. That is what was at the root of Wilson's League of Nations, and later, the UN. It's about spreading American exceptionalism and Federalism around the world, and steering society to that outcome. That is how the EU came about.

  36. To be honest, "comprehensive liberalism," to me, is the same thing as libertinism, where they wish for the liberty of every human action and thought, including disregarding authority, and especially practicing extreme hedonism.

  37. This didn't originate in the US, it originated at Rio, during the Earth Summit in 1992, where the US and UK signed on the dotted line approving the UN's agenda. It was Agenda 21, which became Agenda 2030. This became the Rio+20.

  39. There are some who cannot feel love, which is a psychological problem, and I fear that they are the ones that only attribute love to lust. Romantic love, leading to marriage, is a mental state of being, of your partner being your most intimate best friend and someone you can't live without, etc., which leads to not only the emotion of love, but to the other emotions as well, when one intends on protecting that love.

  40. That's a fact. Most of this originates from Christian Socialism and the “social gospel.” That was how much of the ideology was spread. It came to the US, to Boston, by an Anglican sect that started the Church of the Carpenter. They also ran the Karl Marx School. When it started to fail in that state, they moved operations to NYC, and the rest is history. That was how it made its way into the university at Columbia U and spread.

  42. How the people are duped into the Soviet or Nazi type of thinking is shown below, and it's sourced from MIT. "The quote cited [below] does not appear in transcripts of the Nuremberg trials because although Goering spoke these words during the course of the proceedings, he did not offer them at his trial. His comments were made privately to Gustave Gilbert, a German-speaking intelligence officer and psychologist who was granted free access by the Allies to all the prisoners held in the Nuremberg jail. Gilbert kept a journal of his observations of the proceedings and his conversations with the prisoners, which he later published in the book Nuremberg Diary . The quote offered [below] was part of a conversation Gilbert held with a dejected Hermann Goering in his cell on the evening of 18 April 1946, as the trials were halted for a three-day Easter recess: "Sweating in his cell in the evening, Goering was defensive and deflated and not very happy over the turn the trial was taking. He said that he had no control over the actions or the defense of the others, and that he had never been anti-Semitic himself, had not believed these atrocities, and that several Jews had offered to testify in his behalf. If [Hans] Frank [Governor-General of occupied Poland] had known about atrocities in 1943, he should have come to him and he would have tried to do something about it. He might not have had enough power to change things in 1943, but if somebody had come to him in 1941 or 1942 he could have forced a showdown. (I still did not have the desire at this point to tell him what [SS General Otto] Ohlendorf had said to this: that Goering had been written off as an effective "moderating" influence, because of his drug addiction and corruption.) I pointed out that with his "temperamental utterances," such as preferring the killing of 200 Jews to the destruction of property, he had hardly set himself up as champion of minority rights. Goering protested that too much weight was being put on these temperamental utterances. Furthermore, he made it clear that he was not defending or glorifying Hitler. "Later in the conversation, Gilbert recorded Goering's observations that the common people can always be manipulated into supporting and fighting wars by their political leaders: "We got around to the subject of war again and I said that, contrary to his attitude, I did not think that the common people are very thankful for leaders who bring them war and destruction. "'Why, of course, the people don't want war,' Goering shrugged. 'Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.' "'There is one difference,' I pointed out. 'In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.' "'Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.'"

  46. It's been "crazy pinko nonsense" since the commons were enclosed, and the herders rose up to rebel. Remember, they did this in the North of England after the commons were enclosed elsewhere, with nothing said, and even though they knew that they didn't own that land. That was the start of it, with the thinking that owning property was evil. Most all the rest of their ideology was from Christianity, I hate to say it, especially the idea of the commune, which originated from the monestaries. That was one of the reasons why Henry VIII acted as he did, and put it down before it could become even bigger.

  48.  @GodwynDi  From when the Constitution was first penned, it was understood by the Federalists, around 1812, that the states could leave the union. That idea lasted until it was getting close to secession in the south, and a war breaking out. It's much like the talk of Texas leaving, today. “The Constitution does not directly mention secession. The legality of secession was hotly debated in the 19th century. Although the Federalist Party briefly explored New England secession during the War of 1812, secession became associated with Southern states as the North's industrial power increased.” It's what's called the compact theory, which the Supreme Court said is illegitimate and rejected, because, according to the Constitution, the sovereign is the people, not the states. That is still hotly debated. If the people of those states voted to leave, well...

  51. It's according to which protestant sect. A few of the sects are responsible for socialism and communism in the states, and have been since its founding. That's something that's never discussed, and the problem is always blamed on another religious group, even though they were late-comers to socialism. When that group arrived, as immigrants, the seeds for the socialists were already in place, which started in Boston and spread to NYC. In NYC, the children of the immigrants, (arriving late 1800s and after), who would do anything to make it big, broke away from the religious beliefs of their parents, and joined in with the socialists already there, along with the mob. That was back in the 1920s, or so. It was only a portion of the immigrants that brought with them the socialism that was spreading across Europe. Hardliner Calvinism, (the Reformed), is really at the roots of much of what we see as being off, (in the evangelical Anglicans, especially, in the 1800s), as well as sects like the Unitarians, Quakers, and the Hutterites, etc. Other protestant sects, when visiting, will demand that you stay for supper, and if you need a place to stay, while there, you're invited to.

  52. Look at the autonomous farmers in the rural country of the old Soviet Union that did not flock to the cities for their great experiment. What did Stalin do to them? He created a famine to get rid of them, and gave the grain to the ones that flocked to the factories and traded the rest. The factory workers were nothing but mindless drones under the control of the Kremlin.

  53. When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you. That is what looking at one's reflection does. Really, it all boils down to an ingrained jealousy in a leftist that never leaves them. They are jealous of those that have skills that they do not have, those that are smarter than them, those that have more wealth than them, and those that live a better life than them. Thus, they demand that they have this handed to them as well, but without changing themselves, so that they can become successful as well.

  57. Vice is generally defined as the immoral or wicked behavior of pleasure or amusement seeking. Many activities fall under this definition from drug and alcohol consumption, prostitution and sex, gaming or gambling, amusements and entertainment, the carnival and circus, and indulgence in fine foods, etc. This is why organized crime took over most of these activities, which is known as the "amusements racket," because people become addicted or overindulge in them, and since many were declared illegal, there is a huge profit in them.

  58. Did you ever wonder if the activists are as numerous as they are claimed to be by the media and some in gov? Is their movement as really as large as it's made out to be, by some, or is it really only a small percentage of society that's magnified by using propaganda? No, America is far from gone, believe me, as many of us have noticed that the claims of a giant uprising isn't true, and it's only to be found in small pockets. At that, many activists travel in from elsewhere to cause their chaos in the states it's not found in. Now, we've begun asking why that is. I would about bet that you will find a similar thing in Britain. One can consider the Anglo tribes, the Americans and the British, as two political tribes that are, or were, close to the same that are built upon liberalism, individualism, and capitalism, which are competing against several other tribes of different beliefs around the globe. What the activists seem to hate are the values of these two nations. Ask yourself why. Green-eyed... TIK has some of the better historical videos about the history of socialism and communism, and they explain much, especially why many left-wing activists are anti-Semitic, since they see the Jews as the fathers of capitalism, liberalism, and individuality, though that's not really true. That hatred was in both Marx and Engels' own words, as well as in the Soviets, and the NSDAP, too. Now, after WWII, think about the differing socialist tribes agreeing to mix their old ideologies together, and trying to bring about a new form of it. The socialists knew, after a while, that the only way to do so was by revolution and lies, because, even then, they didn't have the people to pull it off in much of the west.

  65.  @Thomas-rv1wi  I think it has a different meaning, here, in the US. It's from those that love to hyphenate. Out of my four grandparents, three surnames are English, and one is French. One of my great-great-grandmothers was a Fuller from Germany, which would have been in the 1860s. Really, in the US, there is a lot of mixture, but mine was predominately English. It's especially so in Virginia and Kentucky, with many. The four were Mattingly, Bingham, Hackney, and Ramey. The way I see it, you are what you're born. I would be a North American on one hand, and since the US is made up of fifty states, I am a Kentuckian, due to being born there, with mostly English ancestry. The French in me was from the Huguenots that came here; the Remi family, renamed Ramey.

  72. What I have noticed with the liberal left are two things. It's mostly made up of narcissists, and those at the top of the ideology have an ulterior motive, in that they'll have a two-class society, with them being wealthy and running things, while those outside of the “party” are made to be nothing more than chattel slaves, who own nothing. That was why Engels was so infatuated with the ideas of Robert Owen, and with the French philosophers such as Henri de Saint-Simon.

  75. They had started experimenting with opium, and what became Laudanum, in the sixteenth century. By the time of the Civil War, in the US, they also had Morphine (1820s), but the supply was sometimes low, thus, you got the patient drunk on whiskey before surgery. They also had chloroform at that time, but, again, the supply needed wasn't enough. "The most influential work [on opium] was by George Young, who published a comprehensive medical text entitled Treatise on Opium (1753). Young, an Edinburgh surgeon and physician, wrote this to counter an essay on opium by his contemporary Charles Alston, professor of botany and materia medica at Edinburgh, who had recommended the use of opium for a wide variety of conditions. Young countered this by emphasising the risks '...that I may prevent such mischief as I can, I here give it as my sincere opinion... that opium is a poison by which great numbers are daily destroyed.' Young gives a comprehensive account of the indications for the drug, including its complications. He is critical about writers whose knowledge of the drug is based on chemical or animal experiments rather than clinical practice. The treatise is a detailed, balanced, and valuable guide to prevailing knowledge and practice. As it gained popularity, opium, and after 1820, morphine, was mixed with a wide variety of agents, drugs, and chemicals including mercury, hashish, cayenne pepper, ether, chloroform, belladonna, whiskey, wine, and brandy."__Wiki on Laudanum. During the Opium Wars, both the US and UK knew of the practical medical uses of opium, especially the Scots. The Civil War was what caused the great addiction to opioids, which, eventually, brought about the Harrison Narcotics Act in 1915.

WWII is what finished it off with the inception of the UN, and more war debt. All those loans had strings attached. Forced to pull out of the colonies, it left behind squalor, starvation, and collapse, along with the creation of many dictator states.

  79. All of it is over a group of Malthusian crackpots and cranks looking to "stop war" at the end of WWII. It's been in planning for that long, but the worst of it came about in 1968, which is when CC and "sustainability" were dreamed up, and the hoax was fabricated. They created a club at Rome, led by Alexander King from the OECD, and began changing science as we know it (to fit their paradigm), which began eroding the teaching of the subject itself. They were taught that they could lie, and get away with it.

  81. This is a very good topic, which I have also studied, and it leads us to a history of how the definition of certain words has changed over time. Libertinism is one such word, but the change in its definition is older than some think. Some of that was even based upon a misunderstanding of Epicurus, which goes back to the years after the restoration with the early libertines, where some libertines disagreed with others about what Epicureanism was.

  83. Oikophobia has grown due to contra movements being set up within a nation by other nations. In the US, we know this well, as it started with the Soviet Union, Cuba, and China taking advantage of the Civil Rights Movement, which they hijacked. They taught its followers to hate the US and capitalism via propaganda, and they also taught them a fake history about the US and the West. Britain is just now going through what we've been fighting off since the nineteen-fifties.

  84.  @MrReubenTishkoff  Oh, they have a private party-club, with masks, just for this, or did in LA. There was another close to NYC that was held in a mansion. You had to pay an expensive entrance fee to join the fun. The one in LA was big-time people. Another, is held in Venice. I saw a video from it where nude women walked around with lampshades on their heads. Really weird. Venice is where it's still really popular.

  85. The Cold War was ended by Reagan much easier than you would think. KT McFarland revealed how they did it, by simply going to the international banks, and informing them that the Soviet Union couldn't pay their debt payment, along with having the Saudis drastically drop the oil prices, and drill. The banks cut them off, as she stated that the first thing they did, when Reagan took office, was look into the Soviet Union's finances. Next, the Soviets depended on selling oil to make their payment. You get the picture.

  86. I think the availability of the internet, to everyone, is the cause of much of the perversion we now see. Some of that perversion is from brainwashing viewers, whereas, one example, is certain videos from Russia, which show the mistreatment of women in every "blue movie type" video. Others from there are even worse, which are originating from Russia and the old Soviet bloc states. Viewers see these videos and think that what they see is normal behavior. The states making these videos, I believe, are trying to normalize these acts by brainwashing the viewers in the West.

  87. The problem with the Bushes, in mention, were their Whiggish and progressive desire to spread Federalism around the globe at the end of a gun barrel. If it's still available, GHW Bush was caught on video down in Rio for one of the Earth Summits, where he bragged about how the US was leading the charge for what they were doing. Oddly, though, GW Bush didn't believe in their green agenda, and tried to keep the US out of it.

  88. You're forgetting about the contribution of the Templars, in not only banking and money, but it's huge shipping and trade conglomerate that was spread over several Western European states. That gave Western Europe a leg up over every other nation just a few hundred years later. Funny, too, that the last of them not only settled in but were protected by, Portugal.

  89. Britain was a latecomer to the triangular trade and legalized slavery, even in the colonies, until the Casor case in 1655. After that, people wanted it banned. No, the triangular trade, and the invention of the plantation, was the deed of the Portuguese, and the RCC allowed it, so it wasn't all Christians that were against it.

  91. The Dispensationalists believe in the "great tribulation," and many of them wish to bring that about after 2000. " They maintain beliefs in premillennialism, a future restoration of national Israel, and a rapture of the Church that will happen before the second coming, generally seen as happening before a period of tribulation." It starts with John Nelson Darby and the Plymouth Brethren, where "they did not have any liturgy, order of service, or even any ministers; in their view, since their guide was 'the Bible alone' they sought to do it according to their own interpretation of the biblical text." You're dealing with unhinged zealots with this lot.

  94.  @chamberpot969  Yes, he said that they tried to sell it to him for $100 grand after Rocky, but he said that he wouldn't give them $200 for it. He was broke at the time they filmed it, and $200 was what they paid him for two days of filming.

  95. Hollywood is part of the "amusements racket," and has been from its founding, which was run by the mob. That leads back to Vaudeville, where it also occurred, and theater, which came from Europe. There have been several books written about this.

  96. No, Northwoods wouldn't have killed anyone in the US. The "college students" would secretly land, and an unmanned drone with the same markings would take off and be brought down just off the coast of Cuba.

  97.  @dominuslogik484  I'm 59, now, and grew up through the Cold War. I remember when the wall fell in Berlin, and I said at that time, it will take a long time for those states to recover. The only people that had money were labeled the “Cold War Castoffs,” and they were organized crime figures from the black market. That's who ended up stealing all the major industries for pennies on the dollar, with Yeltsin's help. That's why there is so much corruption in the old bloc today.

  98. @hayley s There are many women, who matriculated and graduated, that are airheads, especially in those days. It's the way they were reared.

  99. Here's how Jackie was reared. She was born into a wealthy French Catholic family, and learned the languages that she did from the moment she could talk, where she was taught by her family. She went to a girl's prep school, where they taught them to become a trophy wife, as her family associated with the WASPs. Furthermore, she started to attend Vassar, but "spent her junior year (1949–1950) in France—at the University of Grenoble in Grenoble, and at the Sorbonne in Paris—in a study-abroad program through Smith College. Upon returning home, she transferred to George Washington University in Washington, D.C., graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in French literature in 1951." Her education was lacking, so, "during the early years of her marriage to John F. Kennedy, she took continuing education classes in American history at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C." to catch up. Back then, trophy wives were "passed on" because of who their families were. Really, it's not much different today in many circumstances.

  100. What has happened is ever-increasing inflation, which devalues all money, and the offshoring of good-paying jobs, which has led to large-scale unemployment or working for peanuts. That's why no children are being born, as nobody wants to rear children if they have no good future.

  101. It's all about destroying the US' (and that includes the UK and Europe) hegemony, and handing over that power to a certain nation in the Far-East. The people behind it have openly admitted it.

  103. True, and he also blamed the Jews for the invention of capitalism. The truth is, Marx was a lazy and worthless slob and drunk from a wealthy family, who was jealous of those that had more than him, and he hated the morality that came from religion. He was also a bum, who begged from Engels, who was wealthy, for his upkeep. His wife tried to keep his inheritance from him, because she knew that he would blow it, which he did. One finds a very similar background to the founders of what became known as socialism.

  104. It's not so much as identifying a criminal, but the criminal seeing more targets to exploit, especially the wealthy, in a city or urban area. A criminal can't walk out his door in the country and readily find someone to exploit without traveling a good distance to do it, so they'll probably end up in a small rural town to try it.

  109. The entire document reads like something from Marx. It never fails, and is very predictable, that envy and jealousy are what drives the left, and always has. They're the ones who have to have everything that the Jones next-door has, and they want it for nothing, or from the work of others.

  110. NASA was never about "exploring space." It was the government's ballistic missile project, and it was intimately tied to the intelligence agencies use of satellites. Going to the moon and exploration was the blind to hide it all, and it was the same for the Soviets.

  111. Greed, envy, and a hatred of one's own life leads one down this road, which is why it has always been traditionally tied to the left in every nation. One sect of the mob, in the US, and you can guess which one, hated their upbringing and life so much, that they wished to change their names to American-sounding names to hide who they once were. It had nothing to do with needing an alias, but a hatred for their old life. If you want to find them, just look to what is known as the "amusements racket" since they run the entire thing. That racket includes every vice known to man. Think of everything that can amuse a person, including entertainment. They have their fingers in all of it.

  114. Supposedly, we're the offspring of Polyphemus and Galatea, or the offspring of the Cyclopes. "Appian credited them with three children, Celtus, Illyrius and Galas, from whom descend the Celts, the Illyrians and the Gauls respectively." Wiki article on Polyphemus. The word, Cyclops, it is thought, did not define a person with one eye, but a horse lover. The Yamnaya that spread through Europe domesticated the horse, and rode them.
