“Capitalism is just trade without coercion.”
Sure and of course. All Europeans know it as we speak.
Not to mention your job loss and hard time of landing the new one (I am just mentioning without “victory glee”).Once in Mexico Germ will be “go-to guy” for daily updates of Sinaloa cartel killings.
Not that I do not appreciate his info provided, minus the TVASF boast.@asp
“That is communism, that is how all the communist countries in Asia……..”
In communism there is no private production of “anything” on the scale that you described in your story.Words have a meaning and should be used wisely.
This did not post earlier.
Socialism, proven failed system, officially died on it’s own in 1989. So why the videos and the quotes as one above still peddled?
So the “captains of the industry”, currently in Davos can claim that they are the “good guys”?!?!
As botched as it was, socialism has that, unattainable, but sill an “idea of fairness and justice”, that is, at least, percolating recently in public minds, like the one that no person should ever amass monetary fortune of those that are sacking employees by the tens of thousands as article above describes.
Friendly reminder for those in-the-know as “who is the culprit of our demise”, that Maduro, Lula, Fatso from NK or anybody from Cuba has been invited to Switzerland. What I am saying is that the”elite” does not give shit what anybody thinks any more, so one would think that those mentioned would be the guest of honor there and everywhere by now. No?Theo van Doesburg’s painting and the art movement birthed Rietveld house:

“the St. Lawrence River still hasn’t frozen over yet. He was hoping to be skating on the river by now!”
Skating down the steep urban street on tightly packed dry snow and using street sign posts as a stop. Haven!
Had a dream few nights ago.At my age: Yeah right, good luck with that (in the best Jordan Peterson impression)As for the Croatian shaky stance on their own NATO membership there, in the Balkans, is a very blunt saying:
“She wants to get f****d without penetration”, as an allusion to a young woman saving her virginity for the marriage.In his masterpiece “Magic mountain”, Thomas Mann depicts life in tuberculosis sanatorium located in the early 20th century Davos , where, in one passage: “….girl with tapir face played Handel’s “Largo”. I could not resist but immediately search for long forgotten beloved tune and found this.
In my mind I can envision it as a soundtrack while “watching” all those planes landing, World top assholes mingling with goons, armored cars driving them, their corny and cunning smiles while greeting each other…and all.@tboc
Entertainment and “supplemental” income (better than being Walmart greeter or crossing guard) for sure!@tboc
Wiki-search reveals that senor Macgregor was a star colonel of a Gulf war in early and Bombing of Yugoslavia in late 90’s. In both cases engagement with vastly inferior opponent, during which, I presume, a words like “honor” or “common sense” did not cross his mind.
He survived, got strong hook on lucrative pension that, apparently, can not be unhooked, since for the first time in his life he can speak his mind.Not much info about Brasil in this video, other than visual that event is taking place with Oscar Niemeyer’s architectural masterpiece as a backdrop.
For upheavals in Brasil, recently in Peru or never ending in Venezuela one can assume that there is, guaranteed, some US Corporation whose “extracting rights” are disrupted. Story that goes from Chiquita-banana. South American people had to resort to opt for some kind botched version of Socialist government that through nationalization of resources, even at the economic loss, prevents them to be transferred to the North.
Socialism was proven as a failed system in 1989 and yet, bloody and dead it was relentlessly pounded by the US media
prompted by we-know-who.
The only reason that I could figured as why, was the fact that Socialism in it’s theory has that “nasty seed of thought” that, just maybe, an Appalachian coal, Texan oil and other national natural wealth of even strategic importance, should belong to the nation and not be in the hands of characters that we despise. For the latter please don’t tell me that’s not true!Now keep dreaming that the reason for the calamity that we’rein is as “you insist it is”.
Newly discovered “Love for Russia” I find amazing, after an observation of decades long spitting hatred?
Video brought back memories from my days in the army, where my unit was manning Russian made four-ramp rocket launchers – named a “duck system” since a a radar guided heat seeking anti-aircraft missile had a slight sway of it’s back during the travel. During delicate transfer of rockets from the ramp to a monster truck (forgot if Zil or Kraz) and vice-versa, all the command-response-command-response…were conducted in Russian. Those were the days!
From post-vacc treatment protocol article:
“…a particular intervention may be life-saving for one patient and completely ineffective for another”.
While I am more a proponent that batches of different potency are distributed, does that explain why some jabbed had a violent or deadly reaction and others still function after multiple boosters? On the other hand I amazed that we ere THAT different!?!? Tragedy of a football player (unlike thousands documented and filmed cases of an injury) has a traction to promote awareness – in another words, init’s grim way, celebrities are finally conducting genuine public service.Amazing octopus video: For blending with organic background one may say fair enough but I could have sworn (it was a such a magic that I am still “debating” myself) that I’ve seen the video where the majestic creature matched the checker board that was hovering over.
Both looking like some high school jocks, Guaido always reminded me on “our” Marco Rubio – the guy who advised poor Americans to occasionally drive in rich neighborhoods to get inspired so they too can be like that.
Now, I would say that some entities are more than happy that those two in the Jimmy Dore’s video are perceived as belonging in the some big “Left” basket together with BLM, pink vagina wearers, Antifa or where ever that guy from Oroboros’ photo from yesterday is in.
I developed blisters in my days at Zerohedge, while ago, trying to put some sense regarding Venezuela into indoctrinated merino farm residents, with no avail.In unlikely, but say, hypothetical trial of all the bad apples in the Covid-saga, defense would definitely use Dr. Mattias Desmet as a key witness in: “We have no idea of what happened to us” crapolla.
After all it’s you and me……….
Sooner or later “deep thoughts” of Ayn Rand had to sneak in on the computer screen.
What she would have said observing fantastic effort by the RIM and the Crew at Monastiraki?Ed Dowd’s presentation on that video is brilliant in it’s clarity.
Grim though.
And, yet no shortage of mindless chuckle from the audience.Chain of cultural events during the summer of each year in beautiful Vienna, properly named kulsommer.
Poignant piece for contemplation and self reflection recorded in the “Last Normal Year” of our lives.asp(en)naz(i) and Ugo exchange.
No wonder, since most of the posters in here hardly read other posts.Nevertheless Happy New Year to all.
On the lighter note:
Magic of over the decade fascination with this photo on the Shorpy site:

That POS will be 100 in May next year.
Has his bloody hands all over 9-11-73 military coup in Chile.
Two months later, qualification games for the World Cup 74, Soviet team asked not to play Chilean team in the National Stadium in Santiago, since it was still drenched in blood of people killed there after the merciless round up of all Allende’s supporters. FIFA refused, resulting in the shortest soccer game in the history of Cup, lasting about 27 seconds, where the Chilean team had to “perform” passes against non-existing opponent, scoring a goal and given one more as a punishment for absent Soviets making a final score 2:0.
Window into horror that happened on that Stadium post 9-11 can be expressed as what Pinochet’s goons did to Victor Jara, prominent Chilean poet, songwriter and theater director. His political affiliation, like Allende’s, will hardly earn him a sympathetic nod from the American audience, people “who know shit”, view the world only as a “Cap” or “Comm” and not what is “Right” or “Wrong”.The only Bowie’s song that occasionally I may actively search on YT is Ziggy Stardust. Beauty of that guitar riff is something. Others are OK, if by chance on the car radio, on my non-classical, non-country, non-jazz/blues day.

Thanks for the snippet of Oppy’s existence.
Speaking of, last week watched beautiful documentary (on Am- prime) about Mars rowers, bearing the title “Oppy” after the longer lasting one. Reminder of the USA that I loved.Watching Tulsi, in her designer dresses bubbling the right words makes me “uncomfortable” just the same as watching Jean-Perre-Whatever, believe it or not.
Compared to this:
Doesn’t Mike Wallace at about 3:05 into the video actually talks about “Tuls’s army”?Croatia had won. What a game!
Most folks in Balkans rooting for them. Civil war forgotten.
Which inspired stand-up comedian to come up with:
Dead Serbian, Croat and Bosnian Muslim soldiers came outfrom the grave, shared a cigarettes and mused about current situation in the Balkans. People mingle again. Entertainment stars fill venues and stadiums or their songs are blasting in the coffee bars of former “enemy republics”, Tourists visiting as there is no tomorrow. Soldiers came to sad conclusion: “Somebody really fucked us up. Royally!” and went back to their graves.
Hope that Argentina wins tomorrow. Messi deserves a trophy in his last game in the national dress.So much for the Keith Richards’ legendary middle finger flip photo. Same with roster of celebrity actors from few days back
on TAE, blabbering about “Russian collusion”. Despite all the wealth and fame they are ALL CAPTURED by unseen mob.
There is no other explanation.
SBF, Elizabeth Holmes etc…their astronomical success in tender age is all result of infinite appetite for miracle belief that ANYBODY can achieve ANYTHING just by breathing the air. Lucrative industry, built upon, for “Life-finance-spiritual (!!?) coaches” and buttressed by the many Hollywood vomits: spoiled city-boy can outdo hardworking ranchers and win their respect and the hart of the beauty at the end, young woman – a full time welder (!), outperforms all who practiced all day in dance contest, poll dancer and the drunk save the planet from the alien invasion….
Imagine being a “gook-groonkga” cave dweller roasting a daily kill while Picasso-Rembrandt-(or insert your favorite) level art work is on the wall behind you. Confidence and mastery of the etched lines depicting the beast are THAT good.I do enjoy daily dose of “animal world” at the end.
Well needed after the onslaught of the grim list depicting what we are capable of.@Susm
America discovered a “worker”. F-ing wow!
Just a short five or so years ago sympathetic reading of that CHS’s article would land one a “commie” or “socialist” title. The one who is the “enemy of capitalism and job creators”.@ TBS
And then Edison said to Tesla, “You should compare your bank account to mine.
Not what the “law of the market” (fairy tale extract) preach, where creators of the best mouse trap raise to the top, isn’t it.
Exactly the point of my post.Dr D
“I own stuff and will trade it for your stuff.”
Nice!
However, in more likely scenario, that I observed in a last few decades but is often dismissed by the promoters of the fairy tale, one side would have said:
“Yes, but I see you desperate,so I SET THE PRICE OF YOUR STAFF.”
That is called a “fair market pricing”, starting where one side offers a labor then quickly branches into any other type of exchange.
Nikola Tesla to Edison:
“You should be ashamed of yourself.”Here we go again. Dr Rand Paul on Fauci.
The greatest “blunder” and “misjudgment” used over and over.
Now and in this case, I think that any other wording could put Rand into “conspiratorial bundle” that his position does not allow so he is using a calculated approach.“Fascism was always the defense against communism”.
Narrative flaunted in recent years by the Germans and “others”.
Austria had finally put the stop to Croatian on-again-off-again relationship to checkered (sic) past.
https://balkaninsight.com/2020/07/09/austrian-mps-vote-for-ban-on-croats-bleiburg-wwii-gathering/.
Croats are pissed since “they know, for certain, that other Nazi monuments in Austria and Germany are celebrated. So why they can’t?”
At the end of WWII Tito’s partisans pretty much mowed the fleeing, to the promising West, ustashe black shirts and Some Serbian chetniks in Bleiburg, Austria. Not enough in my opinion and of many others. After that they proceeded to build the XIX century backward country into modern European state.
I know that comment like this raises quite a few eyebrows. Do not forget that soldiers who landed in Normandy were “your boys”.”Our boys” (and “girls”) were communists who, barely armed, decided to confront German invasion. They made busy 26 German divisions in addition to collaborator forces of Croatia, Serbia, Kosovar Albanians etc…
That explains my quiet chuckle every time I hear or read the world “Left” spewed on currently.@DBS
Yep. For two an’a half years I was wandering where overly used “incompetence” and “blunder” came from.
How many still think how it is “stupid” that jab is still being pushed unabated since, by now, it is already proven that “it does not work”.
