    @ Wes
    Congratulations on entering the 80th year!
    May you stay in good health!

    Thank you Wes; so far so good… 😉
    I would have to credit leaving the U.S. 21 years ago and my lovely wife of 19 years, for my present state of good health (both mental and physical).
    The overall toxicity of the west is anti-life at best and certainly not conducive to life in general…

    That’s why instead you need to arrest all of THEM and make THEM rot in jail. Nothing else will do. Just setting him free won’t serve OUR purpose.

    As a self exiled Usian (22 years), it grieves me deeply to see the course the country has chosen…it cannot end well for the majority of its’ citizens…they being on the express to hell…
    The key word here is chosen/choice; not often fully understood by most, Imo…
    And responsibility (another word not understood, Imo)…
    We here in S.E. Asia are currently undergoing an extreme heat event; entering our 3rd week of 39°c – 42°c daily temperatures with humidity running 70% in the mornings and dropping to around 40% by mid afternoon…
    But my greatest fear is the U.S. governments aggresive posture on the world’s stage…
    The government is still behaving as though they are the most powerful…and quite simply they are not by quite a margin…
    May the gods prevail in the end…

    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.

    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…
