The bit about von Leyen's ancestry is interesting and explains the fanatical hatred of people of her ilk. It's not only her, the ancestors of Anthony Blinken, Victoria Nuland, Chrystia Freeland, and probably many others come from Russia or Ukraine and they all have an axe to grind. For instance, Freeland's grandfather was a Ukrainian Nazi. These fanatics are literally driving the world toward apocalypse to assuage their psychotic hangups.
So true Paul, but us Christians will win in the end, because it is written!
"Children, be obedient to your parents in union with the Lord, for this is righteous. “Honor your father and your mother” is the first command with a promise: “That it may go well with you and you may remain a long time on the earth.” nAnd fathers, do not be irritating your children, but go on bringing them up in the discipline and admonition of our Great Creator" [Ephesians 6]. Worth reading in full.
Why didn't you mention the US embargo that's killing Cuba? If government officials are just as poor as everyone else then it's obviously not the government causing the problem.
Yes. The US complicity in this is certainly not good. Extremely immature. It should have been removed decades ago. I may address this in a future article.
They are psychopaths who want to plunge their populations into misery...
A society that systematically refuses to recognize that its physical survival is physical survival is immediately in question and which does not take any steps to save itself cannot be described as mentally healthy.
As a young boy and then young adult it always tickled me when somebody around the circle would say "well in Europe" it's like this or they do that. The thought I had then was SO WHAT! Like any other nation on earth came close to American anything! Of course, for decades and decades, even centuries now slithers have been coming to and infesting these shores with an undermining agenda. Just as they did time and time again through the ages capturing societal influential pillars
Brilliant Gerry - you have hit the target my good friend, well done. I wish I could describe Cuba with the same expletives. I have never been to Cuba, but I did visit Belarus (1994) for a few weeks and my photo gallery describes exactly similar experiences. We were accompanied 24/7 by our KGB interpreter (Elana) and guarded 24/7 by the Belarusian army because our western truck was at risk of hijack by the local mafia.
My best memory was arriving at my billet for the night, late, at 0200. My host had kept his 'shower' (fuelled by wood), going for hours for his 'UK guest'. I was given Vodka and pickled everything and gladly turned in. In the morning (we had been advised to take only one dollar bills because everything could be bought with a US dollar: a taxi, a woman, a crate of Vodka etc).
On leaving I gave my host US$20 for his hospitallity - he declared that this was his yearly salary (when and if paid), and he gave me a bag of rubles (because they have nice pictures on them he said!), in exchange - they were of course worthless. I could write a book about those weeks in Belarus and my visit to the 'Exclusion Zone' too, where I learned so much about the effects of radiation on the human body - but that must wait for another day.
USA Russia alliance? I love it!
“ Back in the USSR!
You don’t know how lucky you are.
That Jo Jo’s always on my mind!”
