  1. "The difficulty in understanding the Russian is that we do not take cognizance of the fact that he is not a European, but an Asiatic, and therefore thinks deviously....In addition to his other Asiatic characteristics, the Russian has no regard for human life and is an all out son-of-a-bitch, barbarian, and chronic drunk." - George S. Patton

  2. "The more I see of Arabs the less I think of them. By having studied them a good deal I have found out the trouble. They are the mixture of all the bad races on earth, and they get worse from west to east, because the eastern ones have had more crosses." -- General George S. Patton, 1943

Patton (8 Aug 1945) I imagine that the Russians had an equally low opinion of General Patton. 😅

  7. “The table is tilted folks. The game is rigged, and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. Good honest hard-working people -- white collar, blue collar, it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on -- good, honest, hard-working people continue -- these are people of modest means -- continue to elect these rich ***suckers who don’t give a *** about them. They don’t give a ** about you. They don’t give a ** about you. They don't care about you at all -- at all -- at all. And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care.” - George Carlin

  8. In 2015, then-president of the Academy of Military Medical Sciences He Fuchu (贺福初) argued that biotechnology will become the new “strategic commanding heights” of national defense, from bio materials to “brain control” weapons. Maj. Gen. He has since become the vice president of the Academy of Military Sciences, which leads China’s military science enterprise. Biology is among seven “new domains of warfare” discussed in a 2017 book by Zhang Shibo (张仕波), a retired general and former president of the National Defense University, who concludes: “Modern biotechnology development is gradually showing strong signs characteristic of an offensive capability,” including the possibility that “specific ethnic genetic attacks” (特定种族基因攻击) could be employed. The 2017 edition of Science of Military Strategy (战略学), a textbook published by the PLA’s National Defense University that is considered to be relatively authoritative, debuted a section about biology as a domain of military struggle, similarly mentioning the potential for new kinds of biological warfare to include “specific ethnic genetic attacks.” Is that enough "smoke" in your gun?

  9. Peter is making things a bit too complicated. America produced quality electronics merchandise from the 1950's well into the 1970's, at which point east Asia took over the market. Zenith, the last domestic TV manufacturer, sold off its share to LG, a Korean company, in 1995. LG owned 100 percent of Zenith by 1999, eventually putting the 1,200 workers at Zenith’s Melrose Park, IL facility out of a job. There are still some American-owned companies that put their names on TV sets, but 100% of the manufacturing is done in east Asia. We can reverse this process, but it will take a few years. In the meanwhile, don't get rid of your older Samsung/LG/Sony flat screen TV's. I've had one for over 9 years, and it still works as good as the day I first bought it.

  12. Reminiscent of the war between the Greeks under Alexander the Great versus the Medo-Persian empire under Darius III in c. 330 BCE. The Greeks had a smaller (outnumbered by more than 2 to 1) but much more mobile and efficient force compared to the Persians, who had a huge but plodding army. The Battle of Issus effectively ended the Medo-Persian empire. Interestingly, in biblical symbology, the Medo-Persian empire was represented by a bear, just as the modern Russian empire is today. Coincidence, or is history repeating itself?

  16. "Secrecy is the keystone to all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy and censorship. When any government, or church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, "This you may not read, this you must not know," the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man who has been hoodwinked in this fashion; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, whose mind is free. No, not the rack, nor the atomic bomb, not anything. You can't conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." - Robert A. Heinlein, from "Revolt in 2100" (1953)
