I'd never heard of him and had to look him up. The answer is, Oh, HELL No. As far as I am concerned, Nazis are good only for killing.
Feel free to read through some of my earlier posts for confirmation. It's all free. I've called myself a Marxist, an old Bolshevik, a socialist, an American patriot, a populist, and a revolutionary. I have nothing to do with actual Nazis, neo or otherwise, unless I'm armed or have people who are at my back.
All right, lol, I won't turn down a compliment. I freely confess to ignorance of the man, but I don't even dislike Jews. I've known too many and had too many as friends for me to do that, albeit none of them were rabid Zionists and some thought Israel was a mistake.
I see Jews as people, good & bad & smart & stupid, just like everyone else, though some of them follow this weird monotheistic religion like Christians and Muslims that I could never get into.
I have to say it, cause I'm uncouth, OB... The camels escaping and roaming with their toes through a market square got caught up in the legging section of one of those stores....
Thanks for clarifying Russia's routine naval exercises around Cuba, who has tried, in spite of all we've done to them, to be that little mustache rollings its eyes above the dangling dick that calls itself Florida. This is the once wonderful FL that I knew and lived in for 30 years. It is no more. We are no longer living in a country that I can believe in. I'm now reduced to acting locally (shouldn't we all?) and seeing non--responses from captured legislators and occasionally watching John Fetterman try to kill his family on the road.
Yah, I saw a local news segment after I wrote this. They did some damage, but I think those who say they panicked just weren't paying attention to their immediate surroundings. Livestreaming, phoning, texting, photographing, selfies...all of those things make people unaware of something as large as a camel walking right up to them.
Camels aren't exactly quiet, not on asphalt or gravel they're not. Plus you can smell them coming, and they're LARGE. My sympathies are totally with the camels. At least they came out of it all OK.
As for Cuba, well, you're in Florida so you know all about the Cuban exiles and their kids and grandkids and so on. And CIA, er, Miami U. And all sorts of the wackiest anti-Commie propaganda in the entire United States, and that's saying something.
I bet they went nuts down there on the local news channels.
I still believe in the country, I just think its ruling class must be overthrown for many of the same reasons the original American Declaration of Independence had to be written.
Well, I'm not in FL since 1995, and by way of 3 yrs in San Antonio, I'm in your sister states of PA now for over 26 yrs. Wow... Now I feel like such an old fart.
Crap! I mixed you up with djean and plead a senior moment. I grew up in San Antonio, you know. The last time I went back, over 20 years ago now(talk about feeling old), I could barely recognize the place, and Austin! My gods. It had become a huge city! When I lived there it was maybe a large town.
Plus it was still way too hot and I was still allergic to everything that grows there and I was miserable after three days and couldn't wait to get back to...Colorado at the time. I'll probably never return. I'm happy in my broken down old city in Ohio.
I am okay here, except for the insurance thing, but then again, I was in the first wave of folks who had to say f*** it, sold the deteriorating house in less than a week, and now live in an almost as large manufactured home, paid cash, lots of stuff to fix, but the park where I live is quiet, although stuffed with kids and families and ethnicities who are not even noisy on various holidays, I just really really want to live in a small house with a yard, somewhat near some water. Also want to mention that it has always seemed weird to me that a state that pretty much votes almost straight down the middle is labeled as red. Little Debbie works for AIPAC , not the DNC, so I think the actual people and their votes here are kind of irrelevant. Also the Dems field atrocious candidates on purpose.
Also, visited a camel farm out near Alice Springs a loooong time ago. Riding a camel involves a lot of swaying, and very young camels are adorable, crave attention, and jostle to be petted and feel like lovely thick velvety velour.
Yes, the Russian Naval visit to Cuba is old hat - began my military intelligence career in the late 1970's and recall watching same....Nuclear power ballistic submarines also routinely patrolled US east coast and one even sunk in the mid 1980s.
In other news (apologies for being off topic) of potential relevance to my JPR colleagues and friends, after losing Vineyard of the Saker and JPR, I had long been going to Moon of Alabama (Where Barflies Get Together) for intelligent commentary analysis......Since mid-late May the site had been down due to illness of the site manager, b...On 12 June received news that 'b' was back up although more time will be required for site manager to regain physical/intellectual strength to get the site back to normal....Fingers crossed.
Oh no. I'm sorry to hear that about Moon. I respect him a lot, and wish him the best.
And thanks for the confirmation. I was on a destroyer in the Gulf of Oman in 1990. I can tell you we weren't worried about the Russians AT ALL. We were far more concerned about Iranian aircraft armed with things like Exocet missiles.
If anything, when the Russians were around it was less likely that anyone else was going to shoot at us. Other ships got close enough to their Soviet counterparts to trade Navy baseball caps. I know that's true--there were American sailors in San Diego bars months later wearing Soviet Navy ball caps.
Thanks. I swear Freya told me to wait and check RT the next morning before I posted this. I did, and there it was on RT breaking news.
I also saw it was summarily rejected with no thinking involved whatsoever. The US Empire intends to keep on using Ukrainians to kill Russians using absurdly profitable weapons until the Ukrainians can't or won't continue doing so, whichever comes first.
We are. I'm now seeing around 2000 Ukrainian soldiers killed every day now, and reports of many hours of power outages every day. I don't know what we will find when we can finally visit again.
Oh - and the street our flat is on has been renamed, so the government is still working ;-)
Truthfully, my wife doesn't remember what they changed it to - it's not like she can get the mail.
It's all part of the grand renaming plan. The town was renamed to Kamianske from Dneproderzhinsk a few years ago (though I saw it on an inter-city bus) and the neighboring city was renamed to Dnipro from Dnepropetrovsk.
Some they really won't change - the train station says Odessa, though it's now Odesa.
I'm glad I don't work for the post office in Ukraine!
Call me naive but all commodities should be purchased in a currency of the seller, corporate taxes should be paid in a country where revenue is generated, not in offshore tax havens.
The world would be a much fairer place.
But yeah, I’m waiting for the day when US buys oil in roubles. It will be hilarious.
Lucky for the public those camels didn't spit on anyone! Camels have been known to spit and spit hard. LOL!!
Looking forward to melting into a puddle of goo in the extreme heat this coming week and not getting on the roller coasters at Cedar Point this summer.

Poor sweet camels.
This summer I will continue my tradition of avoiding Cedar Point. Free the camels! 🐪
Lol. For me, any excuse will do for that. This is a great one.

Strolling rampage. Wholesome :)
Congratulations on a scoop on Putin's proposal to start negotiations!
On further investigation, there's this:
If this proposal is rejected, further conditions will be different.
It's already been rejected.
Thanks. I swear Freya told me to wait and check RT the next morning before I posted this. I did, and there it was on RT breaking news.

We are ruled by vampires.
We are. I'm now seeing around 2000 Ukrainian soldiers killed every day now, and reports of many hours of power outages every day. I don't know what we will find when we can finally visit again.

Oy. Tell me they didn't rename it for a Nazi.

There is no such announcement from the Saudis that I can find. Please show a link to it.
