Is that from a Mercator projection map? I ask because it is not to scale. Russia is "only" about five times as wide as Ukraine.
We always need to remember that Orwell's book, Nineteen Eighty-Four, was meant to be a warning and not a manual.
The name: "US Legal System" is a creation of The Ministry of Truth (which lied) as is the NATO Defence Organisation (which specialises in attack).
In terms of space, if everyone stood together as you might in a crowded elevator then everyone, all 8 billion, would fit into Rhode Island.
If we all lived, as some do, in the world's most densely populated cities then we would all fit into Oklahoma.
If we were all just piled into a heap then we would all fit into a one kilometer cube.
There are insect species that have a greater total mass than humans!
Don't get the "Felons Are Great - Get One Today" tee-shirts!
Initial takeaway: Two people with Jewish sounding names write in the left-wing journal, The Atlantic, that the Arabs did it.
Also worthy of note: "Gematria" in simple Gematria is "balderdash"
Trump ram chong.
My question is: With all those curves, including the curved tables in between the rows of seats, why is the central dais in the top middle not also curved? It seems to be half of a six-sided shape.
Even though it is a stretch, it is certainly an interesting observation.
I expect that not knowing a woman's condition has inconvenienced some rapists. We can't have that, can we?
If you think "inconvenient" data is being suppressed it is always worth checking with Yandex, particularly if Russia is involved.
I recently came across this Mark Twain quote:
“In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards.”
There might be a connection to the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank (HSBC). Not sure.
The East India Company bought tea from China. To do that they sold opium to China. China did not like that idea and a war with the British resulted - The Opium Wars. The Brits won one and gained Hong Kong from China. That resulted in the founding of HSBC.
HSBC is still famous for its money-laundering and it gets fined every so often.
James Comey was once a board member. He got a huge payout when he left. Was that a way to reward him for services rendered? He has known the Clintons since Whitewater days.
In the UK, when the first-born son would inherit the stately home and all its land, the second son would join the army, as an officer, obviously, and the third son would become a vicar.
That was quite a good ploy as all those jobs effectively had free accommodation, a salary and a pension.
People talk about the British Empire. In reality, I think the East India Company WAS the British Empire! Consequently, they will have left a awful lot behind.
It's not just me then? LOL!
There is a long, straight, down-hill road behind some trees about 200 yards from the back of my house. I was in the garden one day and I heard what I thought was some idiot going for the land speed record down the hill.
The sound got louder as he approached but it kept getting louder and louder as time passed. Eventually I caught on, it was, in fact a plane. A single-engined and very powerful plane. I sort of knew where it was but I could not see it. It was behind the trees so very low. Then it pulled up and performed a roll.
It was the Griffon-engined Sptifire (36 litre/2197 cu in, V12) that used to be owned by Rolls-Royce! Apparently, their pilot had some relatives that lived at the end of the road and every time he flew past to a show somewhere he would put on a little demonstration.
Sadly, that pilot and plane did not have a happy ending.
I am so old that I can remember flying to a holiday destination on a C47/Dakota/DC3. Those were the days! It took off from a grass airfield quite close to where I live.
I don't know if it would work but that is the direction of travel I would like to see. At the moment, the push is towards removing that group of people and replacing them with a Big Corporation of some sort.
The recent plandemic helped. Visits to the shops became more difficult so home deliveries increased. That benefitted the likes of Amazon and the large supermarkets.
The current system allows a few people to own Vanguard and Blackrock. In fact, those companies have shares in each other. Those companies can then influence the other companies that they own. They can impose all kinds of rules on their owned companies and the effects are passed on to the people. It is another way of controlling the people alongside infiltrating the government.
Yes and no!
The Big Corporations are not at the top of the pyramid. The really big players are companies like Vanguard and Blackrock. If we just moved from one Big Corporation to another we would just be moving from one branch of Vanguard/Blackrock to another.
I wonder if nationalisation might work. You know how countries like to grab back their, say, oil fields from foreign ownership? I wondered if countries could just take over the Big Corporations. They would need to have a good plan as to how they were going to run them, of course.
Starting with central banks would be a good idea - but probably life-threatening. Depriving the mega-rich of $trillions is not going to be welcomed in certain quarters!
Surely, the babies should be asked? It should be one of the standard questions they get asked. Questions like would you like a male or female body? Or Do you want to be born or killed off beforehand? Please state your preferred week.
Here is an interesting quote
“ ... there was no pretense of objective reporting and impartial analysis. After all, George Orwell learned much about Newspeak and Doublespeak while working for the BBC Indian Department. Some suspect his Ministry of Truth in Nineteen Eighty-Four was modeled on the BBC building in Portland Place, London.
One general media speciality is "lying by omission". So, individual stories could well be true but the full picture is not being shown. For instance, they might research everything good or bad that two people have done in recent times. Then, when presenting the results, they tell you all the bad things that person A did and all the good things that Person B did.
Here are some examples from UKColumn:
- Afghanistan (no mention of the US & UK involvement in the opium poppy drug trade);
- Libya (no professional investigation of the funding, training and arming of terrorists by the UK and US to help assert regime change);
- Syria (no real investigation of anything - just the regurgitation of UK, US and EU anti-Assad anti-government propaganda);
- Yemen (where the BBC has also failed to investigate this UK- and US-created civil war and their funding, training and arms, which features particularly vile military brutality by the British government's old friend Saudi Arabia).
Where do the chips made by Taiwan go? Wherever it is, they will be getting no chips after that switch has been flipped.
China might prefer that switch to be flipped. Just a thought!
The trick is to use computer-based climate models. Not even the climate scientists know exactly how they work.
One question to ask is: How many computer models are there? If the answer is more than one then ask: Why? if the model is telling us the truth then why do we need more than one? If the two models are giving different results then how do we know is either of them is right?
The usual ploy is to create a set of models that, between them, give every answer you could think of. They use the most extreme one to create the fear. They claim it must be right because scientists and computers.
When it is obvious that the answer is wrong then they revert to quoting the output of the most right model and tell us that scientists and computers were right all along.
Works every time!
Even as a Brit, I have to love this quote from the article where it talks about the sun never setting on the British Empire:
... because God wouldn’t trust them in the dark.
I found this compendium of AH's speeches.
If you find the speech for July 28th 1922 and start at 2:54 in the video you see the two match up quite well. Translations are always subject to a little interpretation. For instance "delerium" in the PDF is translated as "madness" in the video.
