    The more we question things, the more everything would appear to be fake…

    Very astute; questions are the enemy of the realm…all of them…

    Hey Ilargi; just how much art was stolen from Gardner Museum March 18,1990?

    It leads me to wonder just what kind of human could possibly be that blatently selfish to deprive the planet Earth and it’s people of that wondrous feat of human expression called art…

    German Children ‘Must Be Prepared For War’ – Minister (RT)

    German children should be made to prepare for war to boost “resilience,” Education Minister Bettina Stark-Watzinger stated on Saturday

    . She said kids should be taught what to do in the event of conflict and suggested introducing “civil defense” drills in schools so that youngsters will be prepared for the years ahead. “Society as a whole must prepare well for crises, from a pandemic to natural disasters to war. Civil defense is immensely important, and it also belongs in schools. The goal must be to strengthen our resilience,” Stark-Watzinger said in an interview with the Funke media group. She also called for a “relaxed relationship” to be fostered between schoolchildren and the German Armed Forces (Bundeswehr), suggesting that military officers should visit schools to explain what “the Bundeswehr does for our security.” President of the German Teachers’ Association, Stefan Dull, told Bild last week that the minister’s proposal “makes sense.”

    Personally, I think it’s despicable, just as I think that the American/Israeli collaborative genocide is horrible almost beyond definition. It is Satanic.

    Be sure to use a hollow point .22 mag round still you only have one go of it.

    The implications of these failures, that are only on the surface mechanical, may be colossal. They go to the core of Amiel’s observation about the cult of excellence that once upon a time reigned in the West. The question is: what has happened to it, what explains its disappearance?

    In a word: Greed!
    As a master machinist for more than 30 years; I witnessed the destruction of standards of excellence destroyed by poor; no, rotten/corrupt management over that period of time.
    What caused this? Look no further that your overloards of that time…

    Artificial Intelligence my ass! Automated Tyranny is more like it, and every single AI system ever built was built to serve the guys who own and built it.

    Thank you DBS.
    “Critical Thinking” is a buzz phrase for the media.
    In fact few possess genuine critical thinking skills as should be evident by the blather vomited by most of the MSM on a dailey basis…

    …re. olive oil; evoo can indeed be used to saute/brown onions and other veggies…
    I often see posts to the contrary…utter rubish in my experience.
