Thanks so much for reposting this. It's beautifully written, and, as ever, I learn from you. I haven't had time to go back and read your earlier posts, but as the great Ned Stark used to say, winter is coming.

And if the world's Winter is as HOT as mine was...

Happy Second Anniversary, Mike.

May you be blessed with a beautiful pleasure robot, and many cyborg children ❤️

Thank you, but I'd prefer a pleasure bot that can clone itself.

Congratulations on 2 years. So much has happened and is accelerated. 2030 deadline pulled forward to 2025....

Almost everyone was thinking, "Yay, lockdown's over," but there was a bunch of us thinking destabilisation leads to more destabilisation. We're in a slow crash, which is terrible for us, but necessary education for celebrity-obsessed schoolkids who have to become better than themselves (and us).

This deserves to be reposted. The mainstream narratives could never do this because it would reveal all the reversals of their alleged red lines (ie. no offensive long range artillery to Ukraine, no tanks, no strikes into Russia, yadda yadda).

The hunkering down into party talking points and inability to view the world through another lens has become one of the defining (and ironic, for the internet age) disabilities of our time, at least here in the U.S.

What appalled me most is that the war was obvious at the start 1. It was the continuation of the civil war yet the USA would call it the Russian war 2. A lot of people would unnecessarily die, and the West would profit from them 3. And Media, as they have always done, would lie, lie, lie.

It's all so obvious, so the bitch is that the Public would, again, take the ride, even whilst claiming to mistrust their government (proving that talk is cheap... and expensive to others whose homes can't be found on a map).

Well done surviving two years and with an impressive readership. Weird though that so many are unable to see the reality of Palestine, let alone apply principles of justice and human rights to their suffering.

Even weirder when people are against NATO for Israel yet pro NATO against Russia.

I think the propaganda machines have been very effective. A lot of people hate Muslims and they hate Russia. They know nothing about either but they fear them. Fear always reduces brain function and the capacity for reason and the Zionists have been promoting fear of Muslims for a century and the Americans have promoted fear of Russia, which a lot of Americans still think is Communist, for nearly a century.

I get that, but it's as crazy as cheering for mom's murderer because he employs Dad.

Yes agree. I was not quite sure what you meant but having had a ponder, well said.
