Thomas_MoreParticipant
What an old-time nationalist nutter of both sides in the region would have said, of course, in the past, was that the “enemy” are all Jews. They don’t dare say that today, but it had always been the first recourse of confrontation in the area.
Thomas_MoreParticipantYes, exactly. What does Bierce say? “Flag, n. A piece of colored rag … borne by ships and troops … serving the same purpose as the signs in public parks which read “Rubbish may be shot here.””
The west of Ukraine has been Catholic (Uniate) for centuries, viewing “schismatic” Russians as savages.. A legacy of the massive Polish-Lithuanian kingdom which stretched from the Baltic to the Black Sea. Gogol’s Taras Bulba, a hymn to Orthodox Russian nationalistic madness, but still an exciting novel.
Thomas_MoreParticipantLenin sent Trotsky, known as “the butcher of the Ukraine” to crush opposition there. When the Whites were defeated by Makhno, with Trotsky claiming the credit, the Reds then turned on the peasantry, for whom Makhno was a protector from both the nationalists and the Bolsheviks.
The title “butcher of the Ukraine” was also conferred on Khrushchev whilst he was Stalin’s henchman.
As for the Whites in the Ukraine, led by Denikin, they burned peasants alive, nailed to doors and thrown on pyres.
Thomas_MoreParticipantWhat about the Ukrainian nationalists of Simon Petliura, fighting against Lenin?
Thomas_MoreParticipantI think they are too busy killing to be restoring statues. Maybe they’ll renovate some churches along the way, or do some illuminated art?
Thomas_MoreParticipantStalin ikon.
Thomas_MoreParticipantBut some of the Russian tanks are flying the Soviet flag, and some nationalists wear jackets with CCCP on the back.
Lenin and Stalin are nationalist heroes for Russian nationalists, and the Putin regime conflates them into one with its “Atomic Orthodoxy” and the Tsars. Stalin is now St. Josef Stalin and his image is in the churches, showing him carrying a small cross. St. Seraphim of Sarov has been made patron saint of nuclear weapons, and the red star is used side by side with the Russian Cross. Lenin’s empty shell still lies obscenely on view, I believe, and I think the restoration of statues perfectly plausible in this psychotic pastiche that is modern Russian nationalism – a hotchpotch of historical eras all jumbled up.
Thomas_MoreParticipantBy exploiting our natural empathy, but only presenting us with images and reports from one side.
Thomas_MoreParticipantSeems one was wrong here also about Finland and Sweden. They will almost certainly be joining NATO.

US Wildlife Services, an agency of the US Department of Agriculture has killed over a million “pest” animals in one year. The “problems” and “pests” are bears, wolves, cougars, bobcats, raccoons, prairie dogs, etc. Some are shot, and some are killed by 1080/sodium cyanide bombs. The latter are indiscriminate killers that take the lives of many unintended victims. It is appalling, but it continues.
Thomas_MoreParticipantI post things about us on celebrities’ youtube pages, FB pages, etc., but never any response. I suggested us on Ricky Gervais’ youtube, but my comment was removed in under two minutes, while all the other comments remained. Maybe one isn’t allowed to provide links there though, and that could be why.
Thomas_MoreParticipantContinued use of Compound 1080 within the United States is tantamount to biological terrorism.
The substance is so dangerous, the FBI considers it “most likely to be used by terrorists or for malicious intent,” yet it is still employed as a pest deterrent. When predators do attack livestock outfitted with special protection collars imbued with Compound 1080, the result is often the gruesome death of both animals, as well as those that may happen upon the carcasses later.
Protected species, like wolves, bears, and even eagles have all been inadvertently killed by Compound 1080 and similar chemical-based pest deterrent methods, and in colder weather, the poison has the potential to leach into water systems, wreaking massive damage on the environment.
Compound 1080 contributes to the deaths of 37 animals a day, both those labeled “pests” and non-target animals.
Thomas_MoreParticipantThe Bolsheviks revealed their true precursors very early on:
Thomas_MoreParticipantAnd the end of the Mensheviks, in Georgia … Was it a bloody annihilation by the Bolshevik Red Army (Trotsky)?
Thomas_MoreParticipantAnd his campaign for reforms, at that time in Russia, was of course valid, unlike today.
