Yea, I have always kinda closed my eyes to all that. Hollywood is packed full of ass holes and elitists. Like Alec Baldwin and his stupid arrogance about shooting that woman, and Anne Heche and her drag race thru a family neighborhood. And they both 2 peas in a pod that just made a new movie together. You got to ignore the bad behavior if your going to enjoy their entertainment. But now Seagal has gone way too far. The same as touring Auschwitz with Hitler. How can anybody be excused for such inhuman endorsement. At least Dennis Rodman had the brains to figure out that something aint right with North Koreans Kim. So I still get to watch the movies he did. That one with Van Damn is pretty good.

Yup, it's a frikin mess and our feckless leaders are just egging it on. As an "Axis of Evil" is coming together before our eyes. While our leaders are distracted by the obsession to put Trump in jail before 2024. Distracted and not doing the job they are supposed to be doing. Maybe that's why Russia is shooting at Ukraines nuke plant. They are watching to see what we do about it. We are being tested. Our leaders are being spun around to pass quick and dirty weapons bills for Ukraine, then they turn back to beat on Trump more. And Russia is watching. They see our leaders are not watching the ball very well. China is screwed right now. They are simply not prepared for a fight. But they are a huge distracting noise. Maybe even a calculated noise to take attention off Russia. But Russia is mostly untouchable. And they are trying to figure out the right False Flag to spark the launch of tactical nukes to cripple Ukraine. And somehow blame it on the nuke plant. Maybe some way to make it look like Ukraine stole nuke fuel and hauled it away towards Poland. Then have nukes explode near Poland to end western weapons imports. And then blame it all on incompetent Ukrainian thieves, like they been doing over and over again. Who knows. But there are reasons for everything that goes on. And Russia/China can certainly pull stunts to take advantage of the Trump distraction. Stunts that could lead to very bad shooting between us and them. That's why I say our ships are in big danger. They are the prime target of a first strike. That can be done without starting WW3. Russia already been shooting their new Hyper missile into Ukraine. Only they know how accurate it is. Maybe its ready to shoot at our carriers. We wont know until it just happens. A carrier group would suddenly vanish as a nuke missile vaporizes the entire ocean area. Only satellites would pick up the hit, as all surviving electronics in that area would be toast. Payback for arming Ukraine. Then warnings that thousands would be launched if the west tries to retaliate. And China could chime in to say they would launch too. Leaving Biden with his balls cut off, and Ukraine left with no more resupply of anything. We would have to eat the serious blow to our military in order to avoid all out war. That's what Biden would do. And Russia is figuring this out. Iran and North Korean could do saber rattling too, at the same time, so that half the world is warning to forget about retaliation or face doom. So despite all the fake news about who is loosing, The Russians are the ones in the drivers seat. And the "Axis of Evil" could soon be the ones calling all the shots.

'DEADLIEST CATCH' Russia Launches Missile After Fishing Dispute 'DID RUSSIA SHOOT A F---ING MISSILE?!!'
https://www.tmz.com/2022/08/17/deadliest...e-fishing/

As I had posted before, there are reasons for everything that happens in life. Even if its not clear what the reasons are. But it don't take half a brain to figure why Ukraine is getting blown all to hell every day. Russians are pounding Ukraine every single day. And while the UK is busy moving their EX prime minister out of his government digs, and the US is busy in court demanding that they keep trying to put Trump in jail, and the rest of the free world is hunkered down behind desks piled up like fortresses, Russians are working out there next fake out moves. And while the world people are doing all that stuff, the earth continues to move farther away from the sun. And there's not much Ukraine can do about ANY of it.

Explosions are seen and heard in the Russian invasion zone. And Russia says, no sweat, there's no damage. And they are right. Russians were no doubt killed, but its no sweat. Its people that didn't matter, and probably had knowledge that is best gone splat like a windshield bug. The world says no more chips for the Russians. But none of the old war equipment, that won't stop pounding on Ukraine, uses chips. And every day the building of hard structures to protect the Russian war machine progresses non stop. So the Russian army in Ukraine gets bigger, while the Ukrainian force gets smaller. So all you need is grade school math to figure where all this is leading to. A very scary situation. After all. Who wants to have their dicks sawed off?

We already got wasted lands where they saw off your head. We used to have wasted lands where they cook you in ovens. Now we getting more wasted lands where they saw off your dick AND cook you in ovens. Geez. So if you book one of those round the world vacations, you better make triple sure that its a very zig zaggy route, to stay far away from very nasty places. I wonder if that queer basketball chick in Russia realizes how lucky she is for not having a dick. Can you imagine if she had dick implant surgery? Those crazy Ruskis would be sawing it back off again. And saying they saved another human being. Hah. Crazy Russian Propaganda.

So, since time tells the tale, its much clearer now to know that Rusophobia IS the fear of getting your dick sawed off. A very justifiable fear if you ask most anybody you meet...

There is no distinction. If Putin shoots a nuke at the West, the West will NOT shoot a nuke at Putins car. The West will shoot a nuke at Russian Oil business, and at Russian military factories, and at Russian ship ports. And all the Russians at all those places will be nuked. So they can't send any more tax money to Putins government. The West may even Nuke the Russian capital. To burn up all the war money Putin already stores there. And all the Russians that kept count of all that Russian money would be nuked too.

So. if the Russian people want to be separate from Putins government, then they need to stop helping Putin. Stop sending him taxes, stop sending him factory product, and stop running the war machines for him. Putin is not in Ukraine murdering Ukrainians. The Russian people are in Ukraine murdering people. So all of Russia will be nuked if things go too far. And only the Russian people can stop it. So go now and stop your government from being inhuman.

You will not be allowed to enter any western country if you leave Russia. You need to stay in Russia and do your part to repair the disaster you helped create. You need to be a soldier in the civil war to stop your government. You need to pay your taxes to the Ukrainian people that your government has killed. You need to teach all the new little Russians how to be human beings instead of murderous monsters. Thats what Germans had to do for at least 50 years. They didnt want to clean up the mess they blamed on Hitler. But all Germans played a part for Hitler. In the taxes they paid. And the world made Germans clean and pay. And Germany is still trying to clean out the stain of inhumanity.

Russians created this mess. And only Russians can clean it up without shooting nukes. You have a lot of work to do that will no doubt take you the rest of your life. But there will be satisfaction in a life spent fixing what monsters destroyed.

To separate, one must be physically/supply-chain separate, whatever lame it sounds. A person living in a country like Canada may be a good example of how to not feed Russia's regime (almost). On stopping taxes, "not pay" sounds easy on paper, not reality... unless you're Jeff Bezos or something.

Go what? Yes-yes, in a remote godforsaken place like Long Island (Michigan, the US), sure standing with a sign "No to War" or annoying a chicken will change everything overnight, right!

A Russia's Russian can receive a Schengen visa, was a demand surge recently. Travel through Georgia the country possible. Russia's Russians do cross the mexico border with the help of the Mexico/US gov't, officially, as asylum (see: VICE). Russia's Russian can enter a country in the EU, can enter the US, Canada, Australia, etc. Not all. Some & sometimes.

Did you pick to live on the ruined planet or was you "forced" to be here without consent by default, in the world of the six mass extinction ongoing, did you choose to speak your native language or was you made so by the parents, have you been notified in what the country you truly live right after the birth?... No, isn't? Are you to blame for killing other homo sapiens species (see: Neanderthal), should you work in genetics on reviving the murdered by your ancestors species? See, I can't take the coin, it doesn't fit in my palm.

Unlike some think, local education doesn't do "monsters" in my experience. Not that straightforward. The problem is in what it doesn't say than the contrary. These days, the news report, the education department cuts off all the mentions of Ukraine, Kiev, etc: This creates the void, the void that the propaganda is so eager to fill.

Russia's Russians are not these Germans. The direct copy cannot be applied. Sometimes it's tempting if forget all older attempts to copy EUs' stuff failed most of the time, couldn't account culture differences.

The core disagreement between us, I feel, occurs in the clash of two viewpoints: One is the national-wide, localized, "you were a national of that country, you are forever enslaved now, in chains, go fix the mess of your master;" The other is globalist, "I am the citizen of Earth, I serve no master." Well, I will prefer to be entitled to my opinion, you are to yours, the world will not be changed by a forum post. For better or worst, we continue to exist beyond the screen.

Umm, No. What you are claiming is a diatribe of excuses. And for myself and all those in the future who will sit in judgement of Russia as an entire country, these excuses will be swept into the trash can. All the world perks of Russians in the free world will be revoked. Their money is no good in the free world. Their names will not grant them visas. And their properties in the free world will be at risk of seizure, subject to local laws. The point is that Russians will not be welcome in the free world. They will be forced to go back to where they came from.

Sure, there are cracks in the social systems that Russians can escape thru. Germans used such cracks to escape even to America. One such German was discovered in Ohio about 20 years ago. Living a hidden life all that time, until the internet shined a bright spotlight on him. He was arrested and deported to Germany because he was proved to be an actual participant to German war crimes. So in todays technology, crack escapers cannot remain undetected for very long. And then it remains for legal authorities to decide what to do with Russian trespassers. Laws right now are allowing most any trespasser from Mexico. But those laws change often. And trespassers are always at risk of being deported eventually. That's why it takes so long to actually gain citizenship. Its a slow process that allows time for a complete look at who deserves citizenship. And Russians escaping responsibility is at the bottom of the list of those deserving citizenship. So successful escape, in todays technology, is only temporary.

If a Russian has been living in a western country for a long documented time, they will not escape scrutiny. But they would have excuses to give to authorities. Still subject to local laws. Russians may have havens is eastern countries with sympathetic Russian populations, but that is up to them. I hear Georgia is allowing Russians for a year. Latvia, for 6 months. That is the right of those countries. But I am sure there is no room for most of the Russian population. Just like there was no room on the planes for the Afghanistan population. And those Afghans that did escape, were lucky because of a sudden but temporary change in our laws. But its still a long process to try to get permanent citizenship. A process that could still result in eventual deportation.

As for comparing you to anybody else in past history, it is a useless comparison. In the free world, no person can be blamed for actions committed by their ancestors. So we that killed the "neanderthals" will have no problems denying you entry to our lands.

As for comparing you to Germans, it is a perfectly valid comparison. You cannot be judged by what Germans did, but you can be judged by what your people are doing. Which looks very much like what the Germans did. So what you saw in Germany is a preview of what you can expect for Russians. The only difference between you and the Germans is that you have Nukes to hide behind. That limits what the free world can do inside Russia. But you loose that protection when you leave Russia. So the sanctions from free world perks is all we can do to punish Russians for being inhuman. And those sanctions will never be lifted until the free world is satisfied that the country of Russia has paid for all the crimes that are now being documented. And the pay will fall to the shoulders of the Russian people. The people that have so far refused to wage civil war to remove the monster government that their taxes pay for.

As for clash of viewpoint? I laugh in your face at that statement. There is no clash of viewpoint. The horrors that Russians are unleashing on peoples unprovoked are crimes against humanity. All humanity. And if there are aliens in space, then I would say that Russians are criminals to all intelligent life. And laws would eventually be made to include space aliens. I am confident that humanity has evolved that space aliens should not fear being exterminated by humans. But today, I am sure that Russians would be exterminating aliens to try to take their planet. Because Russians today are inhuman animals that can't be trusted. President Ronald Reagan said of Russians. "Trust but verify". Well we now know that Russians are even less trust worthy than Reagan thought. There will be no more trust. From now on and probably for the rest of my life, everything Russians do needs to be carefully watched, documented, and triple verified.

And nothing any Russian says today can change anything that I have said. Russians as a whole are done with the free world. And if they don't like the life they created in their own land, then they need to change it themselves. And until Russians become trust worthy human beings, and the free world is pleased with that change, then Russians are not welcome in the free world. And this is the way it has to be for the safety of my kids future.

Hah. Rodman going. Now Rodman not going. Is this the brain fart of the year award? We can only hope. The west is so full of powerful idiots living in some imaginary mystical dream land. And then they get their butt stuck in the craziest ways and scream for my tax dollars to haul them out. Hollywood types racing thru neighborhoods and crashing thru houses. Tax dollars were flushed digging her burnt butt out of that mess. And all the tax dollars flushed investigating Baldwin for playing shoot-em-up with a loaded gun. We got to investigate because the dead person deserves justice. And Hollywood sure aint paying for it.

Well you can kinda figure that the Feds had to fly to Rodmans home and show him the spy pictures of the gruesome stuff Putins Army has been doing to people. And making sure Rodman signs paperwork that the tax payers wont lift a finger to haul him out if it all goes bad. And this does all of us good by keeping one more popular idiot out of Putins hands for more blackmail power. Or maybe the Feds had to be more brutal and promised a tax evasion investigation if he heads to Russia. Sometimes you have to appeal to a persons sense of what he knows, rather than talk them out of what they think they know. Whatever happened, Rodman changed his mind, and we as tax payers have abit less trouble on the table.

But the world is still a tangled ugly mess.

Yup, traitors are a monster problem for Ukraine. People that always been helping Russia for the last decade for extra pay, or fell for the hype of propagandoes, or people actually sent in by Russia thru the easy borders. All that happens when your population is made up of Russians raised from birth in the Russian way of dumb thinkers and stab your neighbors for the state. America goes crazy when they find just one traitor sending secrets to our enemies. Ukraine is literally infested with traitors for endless stupid reasons. Its unlikely that Ukraine will survive to catch all the traitors.

Russia announces ‘adoption’ of thousands of children deported from occupied Mariupol, Ukraine reacts
https://news.yahoo.com/russia-announces-...p_catchall

OMG. What would you do if somebody shot up your house and stole your kids? You'd grab your guns and go hunting. Im sure you would. I would do the same. Well that's what Ukrainians have been doing for over 6 months now. Hunting Russian invaders. And Ukraine has been unable to get any of their kids back. And who has got them? "loving" Russian families that are collaborators in this Russian Holocaust. See why you cant trust any Russian? Because its not just the Russians that doing the shooting. Its the ones making the weapons, making the food, paying the taxes, and even treating the wounded. On the TV news there were interviews with Wounded Ukrainians that were exchanged for Russians. Badly wounded that were happily given up to reduce Russian costs for "care". And do you know what that care was? The wounded man said he was too damaged to even walk in the Russian hospital. And the Russian nurses would bring food and leave it by the door. But he was unable to get to the food and the nurses knew it. Hours later they would take the food away and scoff at him for wasting food that good Russians gave up for him. The wounded Ukrainian said he was severely malnourished while in Russian care. So the Russian nurses are monsters too. What else is new. That's what happens when the entire population is raised to be monsters. Every Russian profession is manned by monsters. And now Ukrainian kidnapped kids have monster care takers. And Ukrainians seem powerless to change that. That's what happens when Ukrainians, raised in the Russian way, were too stupid to flee and get non combatants out.

Some Russian propagados daughter got blown to bits. And everybody is scrambling for an angle on this. Its hard to figure what's up and down. But little clues are bubbling up.

Wikipedia page about Dugina's alleged killer was created on day of car explosion National Guard of Ukraine

So how did a Wiki pop up so fast? Who is the king of internet propaganda? Not Ukraine, because there's not much internet in Ukraine. Only those with a handful of Starlink dishes have internet. While the Russians and their RT teems are actually making same day movies in the invaded lands. So it's kinda looking like that woman was executed by the Russians. Her own people. Because she is worth more to Putin dead than alive. Putin is now hamming her up as a martyr because of cowardly Ukrainians. And other Propagandoes that were not on message, as required of patriotic Russians, now have a warning to get with the programs. Like that Russian woman on Russian news with the sign protesting the war. A false flag created to stir more Ukraine hate. But you have to wonder what father Propagando is thinking right now. Is he really stupid enough to think it was Ukraine stalking his lowly daughter, or is he having dark thoughts about how he may have been betrayed. By the government he believed in. You can bet the gears in his brain are going round and round right now. And all bets are off. One way or another, in Russia, his life aint worth squat. And it never was from the day Putin took power. And Russian lives never really had much worth thru most of Russian history.

And as for Ukraine...

Stop the presses. The world is upside down. Have to do a rewrite. The Ruskis are pausing on their plan to unhook their half of the space station. They got a better idea. Free space rides for American astronauts. Say what? Hah. All they ask is free rides in return. Ride for ride. And NASA actually agreed to it. Geez Louis. Why do our leaders seem to have shit for brains? We got a woman leader for NASA, to be more woke. And this is the stupidity we get. She's got us putting our best and hardest working diamonds of our society into Ruski rockets, made with tech stolen from way back in the 1960s. But before that, we gotta put Ruskis into our state of the art Rockets that even NASA was too dumb to invent. So Ruskis finest spies get a front row seat inside the latest western space tech, and even free lessons on how to work it. What is wrong with our leaders? They used to be smart enough to keep Ruskis off our space shuttle. That's why Ruskis never could get their stolen shuttle copy to work. They couldn't steal everything they needed. So now they get to play with our newest stuff from the inside out. And document and memorize every fricken detail. Absolutely outrageous. So what do you think is next? Who knows. Not even crooks can make concrete plans to fuck the world when the world is run by new forms of stupidity every week. I can just imagine that gay basketball player finally getting some quality company in Russian prison. American astronauts convicted of spying on Russia. And it blows my mind that Elon Musk isn't mad as hell about all this.

And the media continues to swear that the Russians are loosing. Just like they keep announcing that Trump is heading to prison. And Biden is a wonderful president. And its all Bushes fault. Oh wait. I forgot. The media quit blaming Bush after he started having barbecues with the Obamas. Even Christie has suddenly become a media darling entitled to all the donuts he can eat.

So what does it all mean? It means that the world is a mine field and you are on your own when trying not to step on any of those mines. The media is so full of shit that you got to learn to be very good at weeding out the facts from all that shit. Or your going to have a life as the media dictates for you. Get the shots the media demands. Get the cars the media demands. Vote the people the media demands. Convict the people the media demands. Pay the taxes the media demands. Eat the food the media demands. Watch the programming the media demands. And raise your kids as the media demands. And after I saw a news video of AOC media backed Kristen Gonzalez declare that Socialism won, its pretty clear to me that if we all don't stop the media take over of our country, we are likely to be as communist as the Russians. Cutting our own balls off to pay for that communism. With big neon signs begging to be conquered by expert rulers over communists.

And it can all happen as easily as its happening in Ukraine. Exorcises building up at the coast. Special action to help out fellow communist AOC. Special action to root out Nazism and the KKK, Special action to seize and "secure" the energy plants. Special actions to destroy military centers and communist resistors. And carting away our riches to pay for the costs of blowing us up. Yup, it's a viable blue print that's working right now. And all it needs is for communist moron fools with power to dump our nuclear arsenal, as easily as Biden dumped the Afghan country to the Taliban. John Lennon would dump our nukes in half a heartbeat, if he were alive to be president. And he is not the only one, as be wrote in his song.

Trump is right. The media has become public enemy number one. And they are the real existential threat to America that our great founders built.

Mikhail Gorbachev, ex-Soviet leader who ended the Cold War, dies aged 91, report says
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/08/30/mikhail-...-says.html

Bummer. This is a dark day. The man who had the vision that could have united the East with the West has passed away. And I'm sure he died a very sad man hoping he goes to a better place. As with all things Russian these days, it's hard to say what the Kremlin will do about this. Putin would want to lay blame on him and seize whatever property he had. The thief that Putin is. But he is mindful of keeping his people in line. Especially in these times. So it all depends on what the people are saying. It will be interesting to watch.

I'm not a bigot. I'm a realist. I see enough of what's going on now to know that Russian good will is a sham. An unfortunate result of the inhuman way Russians are raised. Only fools would turn their backs to Russians.

But there was a time when I saw a glimmer of real hope. That the day might come when the East and West could embrace in sincere friendship. When both sides could knock down all barriers and freely spread the best of us. That time rolled in when Gorby was elected leader. At first he seemed too good to be true. And I was glued to all TV reports about him. I was in awe when Reagan tested him very hard. And Gorby stood tall and rose to those tests. It was truly a spectacular time. And it wasn't just a fleeting moment. A peaceful revolution was actually going on. They were inventing words. Glastnose and Parastroica. Walls were being torn down. And peoples freed from bondage were left dancing in the streets. And the media had no powers that could paint it sour. Reagan the elder statesman was truly impress and enthusiastic with the idea of Russian friendship. And the country was finally forgetting about a nuclear threat.

But eventually it all went to hell. On our side, Democrap hate called Reagan a crook. Reagan, of all people. A crook? Only blind hate and jealousy could do that. And Reagan was left flabbergasted and distracted by the accusations and criminal investigations. Made worse by Reagan being afflicted by a degenerative brain disease. He was blindsided and not able to defend himself. Over things that today are too trivial to even bring up. Reagan as our President was actually over even before his term was up. His mental faculties had degraded and his cabinet was actually doing most of the presidential work. And his cabinet was answering for the "crimes" the Democraps claim were going on. "Arms for hostages". That's one hell of a crime for saving our people. Oliver North said he was proud to take the fall for saving our people. I would be too.

And it got worse. On the Russian side, the nasty bit players in the Russian government were jealous of Gorbies success and angry that they were being robbed of their shot at being the next dictator. Like it was with Trump, fighting everybody sabotaging his plans, Russian nasties had their foot out at every turn to get Gorby off balance. Interfering with reforms and sabotaging the economy. Gorby was dealing with frustration and the Russian people were stuck with the "gridlock" that stalled better times. Gorby was being overloaded and that's just what the nasties had intended. The day came when Yeltzin jumped up and pulled a coup on Gorby when he was on a vacation. It was bedlum in Russia. Part of the Army was with Yeltzin and part of the army was with Gorby. Yeltzin was not able to seize Gorby but he had the next best thing. Yeltzin controlled all the cash. And he told Gorgy he's free to do as he pleases, but he has no money to pay anybody. And Gorgy realized that he had no power any more. So all the powers lined up behind Yeltzin and world friendship was suddenly in doubt.

Relations wallowed around for years after that. It was a coup. How can there be trust. In time, relations slowly came around. Yeltzin wasn't such a bad guy. But he had other problems. He was a drunk. And that was a big problem to progress. So the friendship thing never really went any further. Yeltzin sank deeper into his drunkeness and Putin stepped in. Spun his deceptive web and ultimately took control of Russia. That was bad news. Our people knew Putin was a bad actor. So the hope of a lasting Gorby friendship pretty much ended with Putin.

And now we got what we got. Ukraine getting exterminated, and the rest of the world rocking in the waves. With no idea what's coming next. Pretty much like in the before Gorby times. Khrushchev said they will bury us. Putins lakies say we could be nuked. So we are back at square one again. Complete with war crimes and genocide on our high tech TV screens.

We all got something to complain about, but clearly Ukraine is in world class trouble. And not a lot that can be done about it. Russia is preparing for winter and stealing Ukraines harvest. Semi trucks fully loaded for as far as the cameras can film. And Ukraine is powerless to stop it. Reminds me of the Grinch. Stealing all including the food from the mice. But there's no chance the Russians will be bringing it back. Unlike the Grinch, Russians are heartless. And soulless too.

This makes me so angry. Things in the world could have been so much better. For me and everybody else in all the future years. All you need is one person with a sensible vision. But it takes everybody else to make that vision happen. Nobody can change the world all by themselves. Its the same with Trump. He did all he could to drain the swamp. But there was just so many crocodiles in it. And he was being chewed up from all sides. Even my own representative betrayed my representation. Governments everywhere are broken and only a peoples revolution can haul the bums away.

Anyways, now that its come out that Gorby opened his yap in his last hours, I have no doubts that Putin will be angry and looking for retribution. He will probably seize all family assets, send his offspring to Siberia, and erase most all mention of Gorby in Russian history records. Probably leaving just a few fake news foot notes painting Gorby as a brain fart leader that was soon removed. Kinda like what they trying to do to Trump. So the West will be remembering Gorbies greatness while the Russians will be remembering Trumps greatness. Hah.
