    Oroboros i think that lady in the video posted @ 172927 and i attende the same public speaking course.

    What we need is a comparison of Big Mike in the clingy blue evening gown and a trans-man is similar attire. Give some meaning to the term BIG Mike.

    McDonalds Big Mac special sauce. (you can take the boy off the construction site but you can’t take the construction site outta the boy) sometime backspace is my friend

    left-libs? Bless your heart!!!!! I always associate Ghandi with The March to the Sea. A war of philosophical and human condition attrition. Of course there is always Ghandi, Mr. Jinnah and The Indian Independence Act.
    Take a close look at Mr. Modi – perfect synthesis of Good Old Boy Empire and the Hindu Caste System.
    I don’t think you meant to say what you implied or what you implied does not mean that which you think.
    Dr D (3616) and Modi; i will avert my eyes at the proper moment.

    @Dr D re: “…they’re only words, which we adults tell them, but the words are immediately injected into them with no walls or barriers…”

    There are invisible realms to unpack behind such interaction. Even if the person receiving the lie is aware of it’s non-truth, and can shrug off the insult, it opens considerations of what the liar intended. What is the liar’s internal state that such an act isn’t inhibited (dopamine and/or adrenaline involved?). Some empathy for what damage may have caused the liar to start doing that. Or maybe psych/soc with no empathy, so lie like taking a piss. Thinking about the others the liar may have ‘injured’ or hoodwinked along the way. Sadness that such a hideous flaw is visible in a fellow being, someone you might otherwise befriend or at least respect.

    Now, sidle up to the TV, dive into the alpha waves, and allow this to be poured in without even the rudimentary filters that are engaged when speaking or reading. “To see is to believe” is just how we’re wired. Animated speakers seem to speak more convincingly? Hmmm…

    ———————————————————————

    Addendum re: TV

    I’ve been trying (10+ yrs now) to unwind the damage from TV. Here’s another observation: we are trained as spectators. None of us viewers can ever resolve the conflict of the episode, because we’re not the scripted protagonist. We merely view, and can do nothing, because it’s always the protag or someone else who resolves the conflict, for our pleasure. In real life, see a car crash, think naught because the protag probably already called the services, or maybe the script says the wreck is the tragedy in the plot.

    Maybe this is why Dr D needs to scream ‘WORK’ so much. We’re trained that almost everything else in our lives is somebody else’s job.

    Global Affairs Canada statement on Russian disinformation
    October 28, 2024 – Ottawa, Ontario – Global Affairs Canada

    “Canada alongside international partners condemns clandestine activities from the Social Design Agency (SDA) and Structura – two firms funded by the Kremlin – that seek to undermine democracy and weaken Canadian and European support for Ukraine.

    “These firms and their leadership are responsible for running a large disinformation network dubbed Doppelganger. The Doppleganger network spams the online space with inauthentic posts, falsified documents and deepfakes. These deceitful tactics are designed to undermine democracy and distract from the war crimes and humanitarian disaster Russia has created with its illegal invasion of Ukraine.

    “Although Europe and the war in Ukraine appear to have been the primary focus, Canada and Canadian social and political issues have also featured in the content of these clandestine outlets. Moreover, Canadians are impacted by Russian disinformation when Kremlin-backed operations exploit contentious topics such as race and migration. These polarizing issues have been a focus of SDA and Structura.

    “Canada takes all malign intent and continued activities by the Russian government to interfere in our democracies very seriously. We continue to coordinate our response with our likeminded global partners.”

    Quick facts
    Canada has sanctioned over 3000 individuals and entities in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova, including in response to malign activities of Russian disinformation actors. These individuals pose as media pundits, “journalists” and “researchers” and the various arms-length and state-owned institutions that host and support them.

    If you don’t use the word “mercenary” you avoid admitting guilt.

    Global Affairs won’t confirm reports Canadian dead in Russia was foreign fighter


    OTTAWA — Global Affairs Canada says it is aware of the death of a Canadian citizen in Russia.

    But the department won’t confirm reports the Canadian was among four foreign fighters who had crossed into Russia to fight for Ukraine.

    The Globe and Mail reported today that four foreigners, including at least one Canadian, were killed on Sunday in a firefight in Russia’s Bryansk region, which borders Ukraine.

    Asked about the report, a spokesperson with Global Affairs would only say the federal government is aware of the death of a Canadian and that it offers its condolences to family and friends of the deceased.

    Russia’s embassy in Canada forwarded The Canadian Press a statement from Russia’s security service saying “four saboteurs” were killed by border agents and soldiers in the Bryansk region on Sunday.

    The statement says the four killed were in possession of “foreign-made weaponry” and personal items, including a Canadian flag and a prayer book written in Polish.

    It added that one of the soldiers killed had a tattoo suggesting he had been a member of a U.S. army parachute regiment.

    This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 30, 2024.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian-Ukrainian_Brigade
    The Canadian-Ukrainian Brigade (Ukrainian: Канадсько-українська бригада, romanized: Kanadśko-ukrajinśka bryhada) is a unit belonging to the International Legion of Territorial Defence of Ukraine which was formed in early 2022. The brigade is formed from individuals that are Ukrainian Combat Veterans or have been providing aid and training to Ukraine since the war in Donbas. These individuals came together under the umbrella of the brigade to set up a network spanning over Canada, Germany, Poland, and Ukraine. It is notable that the brigade consists of ex-Canadian servicemen and fresh volunteers.[1]
    Canadians can sign up for the official Ukrainian-government program through various websites or by contacting the embassy and consulates directly, but Borys Wrzesnewskyj said many are simply “picking up and going” to Ukraine via Poland. [1]

    Ukrainian diplomats have said that the country would give priority to Canadians with military experience, but welcome anyone interested in joining the fight. The embassy is vetting those who have applied. At least some Canadians cleared to go to Ukraine will receive training in Poland, according to Borys Wrzesnewskyj and Chris Ecklund, a Hamilton, Ontario businessman who has set up his own group to assist those going overseas. [2]

    Global Affairs says 2 more Canadians have died in Ukraine-Russia war
    11 Canadians have been killed in the conflict

    Jacob Serebrin · The Canadian Press · Posted: Mar 25, 2024 11:53 AM PDT | Last Updated: March 25 2024
    A military unit of foreign fighters in the Ukraine war had taken up covert missions against Russia when its Canadian commander was killed, says a researcher who studies war in the former Soviet Union.

    Jean-François Ratelle, who led the Norman Brigade under the nom de guerre Hrulf, was one of two Canadians to die within the past month fighting for Ukraine.

    An international studies professor at the University of Ottawa, also named Jean-François Ratelle, said the Norman Brigade appears to have shifted from occupying defence roles — holding battle lines — to activities outside the front lines. Ratelle, who studies foreign fighters, is not related to the deceased soldier of the same name.

    “From what we can tell, a lot more covert activities, things that were behind enemy lines, a lot less of holding the lines and the typical infantry battles in the cities,” Ratelle said in an interview Monday about the Norman Brigade’s changing duties in the war.

    “It seems that they turned into an asset for the Ukrainian military intelligence.”

    Global Affairs Canada said it is aware of two Canadians who recently died while fighting for Ukraine, bringing the total number killed to 11 since Russia invaded in February 2022.

    Another Quebecer, Alain Derasp, 49, died in Ukraine on Feb. 27, an obituary said, describing him as a veteran of the Canadian Forces Royal 22nd Regiment and a father of four.

    Derasp had been providing first aid training to soldiers in Ukraine and died after contracting an illness near the front lines, according to a military source who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

    Luc Fortier, who served with Derasp in the Royal 22nd Regiment — also known as the Van Doos — remembered him as cheerful, “but above all very dedicated.”

    The infantry is a brotherhood, Fortier said, adding that the sudden loss of Derasp is painful for the soldiers he served with.

    Born in Campbellton, N.B., Derasp joined the Canadian Forces in 1992. During his 26-year career, he was part of a United Nations peacekeeping mission and three NATO missions, all in the former Yugoslavia, as well as two missions in Afghanistan.

    A warrant officer at the time of his retirement, Derasp lived in Chicoutimi, Que. Ratelle, who was from Joliette, Que., was killed in combat, said Anna Filippova, a Ukrainian friend. In a written message, Filippova said she met him shortly after he arrived in Ukraine in March 2022.

    “He was a true warrior, an absolutely unbreakable leader and warrior,” she said. “He had backbone, and principles and he fearlessly pushed forward to the goal no matter what.”

    Foreign fighters have played an auxiliary role in the conflict, expert says
    The Department of National Defence said it has records of someone named Jean-François Ratelle who served as an artilleryman for three years. A friend said he had later joined the French Foreign Legion, and in pictures posted on social media after his death, he is seen wearing the uniform of the famed French military corps. The French military did not respond to a request for comment.

    Chris Ecklund, a Hamilton, Ont., businessman and philanthropist who has helped Canadians travel to Ukraine to fight — and who has spoken with the soldier Ratelle — described him as a dedicated warrior.

    “He was following the calling like a lot of other men and women from Canada and all over the world,” Ecklund said in an interview. “He believed in the cause and he was basically trying to help out.”

    Professor Ratelle said foreign fighters have played an auxiliary role in the conflict, and while they have participated in major battles, they’re often used to hold battle lines, for cross-border raids and as decoys ahead of counter-offensives by Ukrainian troops.

    The Norman Brigade was formed early in the war, Ratelle said, adding that some members soon left amid internal conflict about the unit’s role. While the unit has raised money online, using social media to promote itself, it became much more covert a few months into the war, he said. Russian propaganda has claimed there is a far-right element to the unit, but Ratelle said he hasn’t seen proof of that.

    The deaths of the two Canadians were originally reported by the Russian government in social media posts that included photos of the men and other personal details. In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, the Russian embassy in South Africa described both men as “mercenaries” and said the soldier Ratelle was killed by a drone strike.

    WASHINGTON, October 30. /TASS/. Washington has added to its sanctions list, with new entities facing a freezing of their assets in the US and being banned from doing business with US citizens and companies. Almost 400 companies from Russia and a number of other countries have been blacklisted. In particular, sanctions against Rosatom have been tightened for a tenth time.

    Chicago Tops ‘Rattiest Cities’ List For Decade As Other Democrat-Run Metros Plagued With Disgusting Rats

    “Pest control company Orkin published its annual Rattiest City In America list, with Chicago securing the top spot for the tenth consecutive year. As we scroll through the list, a trend emerges, many of these metro areas are governed by far-left Democratic leaders who campaign on “joy” and “love” and “utopia” – yet the inconvenient truth is their policies transform cities into rat-infested and crime-infested hellholes.”

    In honour, ((fundamentalist form of honor, notice the ‘u’)) of Anal-O-Guy, here’s some Jewish kinda fundamentals.
    He “apologized”.
    He regretted his choice of words.
    How about starting with calling out your fellow parishioners as grotesque dumbfick terrorists….first foremost and last most too?

      During a CNN shouting match TV show, conservative (and I assume Jewish) commentator Ryan Girdusky said he hoped Islamic commentator Mehdi Hasan was blown up with a pager by the Jews.

      Hasan said he was used to being called an antisemite because he “supports the Palestinians.” Girdusky replied: “Well, I hope your pager doesn’t go off,” a sarcastic reference to the Jewish terrorist attack on Lebanon in September of this year which involved blowing men’s dicks off with exploding pagers

      Girdusky quickly apologized for the comment, no doubt realizing that he’d gone a bit too far.

    A bit too far, huh?

    Apologized did he?

    Was he sincerely apologetic, gird his loins and make adequate atonement(s)?

    …….can’t wait to hear from the usuals.

    Maybe this interview was AI make-believe since it was CNN.

    What happens if you hear things “It’s raining today” and it’s not true?

    That happened a couple of months ago. Saw an article when I was opening the Edge browser that stated that a terrible rain storm had grounded flights “right now” at Phoenix’s Sky Harbor airport. There were no storm clouds in the sky. I live about 10 miles from the airport…it can’t rain there and for someone at my home to not see storm clouds in the sky. Bizarre.

    Harvey’s protege as in Weinstein, maybe????

      newest lawsuit against accused sex trafficker and child molester Diddy has been filed on allegations he raped a 10-year-old boy and in second incident (and case) a 17-year-old teen. This week famed Texas trial attorney, Tony Buzbee, filed the cases in New York Supreme Court. Buzbee has filed several of the 120 he promised to take to court against Diddy.

      One lawsuit alleges that in 2005 Diddy raped a 10-year-old boy

    George Pierce raped me when I was 10 years old.
    Father Pierce held Clarice in the Holy Family Catholic Church Rectory for his use. So I’m a witness too.
    The Greensburg Diocese previously headed by some monumental closeted fag, all due respect, name William Connaré compensatee Clarice with ~30k U$D.
    30 years after the comp to Clarice, the Bankrupt Diocess, morally and financially, offered me ~76k U$D to Shut The Fuck Up.
    Y’all think I can be bought off to shut. The. Fuck. Up. when I put my life, career, and professional reputation on the line for your child, someone else’s child, a Muslim child to protect them from being raped, murdered, indefinitely imprisoned, abused, held incommunicado and targeted for assassination.
    If you’re on the side of angels in this regard then abandon the parish church, reject the stake and bishopric AND reject the synagogue forever.

    Pigeonholing, there’s a new one to me.
    I’m gonna use it.

      Diddy’s former girlfriend, singer Cassie, also accused him of pigeonholing her career out of spite. A number of recording artists have stated this about Diddy, who is a vengeful and spiteful person.

    News from a Yemen source, deep diving drone submarine/torpedos now being deployed by Yemen to counter American nuclear submarines in the Red Sea.

    With the success of the Yemeni forces in asserting control over the shipping lane in the Bab Al-Mandeb Strait and the Red Sea amid criticism of the absence of American forces, the latter dispatched nuclear submarines to the Red Sea and occasionally launch missiles towards several Yemeni cities before diving back underwater and then moving between the sea and the Gulf and reaching the ocean to avoid detection.

    Today, after weeks of these submarines entering the operational theater, Yemen is deploying a weapon to resist them, which the Yemeni forces have named “Al-Qari’a,” which has deep diving capabilities and the ability to infiltrate among the latest radar systems, and most importantly, its destructive power, which may sink submarines regardless of their ability to withstand explosions.
