Russia has realized what a stupid thing it was to do to implement centralization. The US and the West are doing this now, and destroying itself.

Yes, I do feel that the US is following Russia's path from the 1980's. The corruption is getting to be too obvious to everyone. And we have indeed stupidly allowed the federal government to take over most things, with all the horror that centralization inevitably causes.

I know they are Russian - so what? It's (currently) one of the best search engines out there.

I think Yandex is better than Google because Yandex is Russian. They really don't feel the need to censor the same things Google does. Other things perhaps, but not the things our own oligarchs want suppressed.

I am in 100% complete agreement.

Google is sometimes better for technical searches, but not that often. I hardly ever use Google now.

WTF

He had a butcher knife on him and he was a suspect in a knifing of a person in what is being called "an unprovoked attack". IF this is true, IF it is - fuck 'em.

But I also remember being told that George Floyd was just a guy that was down on his luck, trying to turn his life around, who may have had a fake $20 bill, was murdered by Derek Chauvin after he DIDN'T resist arrest, and didn't consume any drugs.

So, we have to be cautious about what we're told, since our "news" media will readily lie.

Give Yandex a try. If you are getting too many Russian results to your liking, append "&lang=en" to the URL. I.E. https://yandex.com/search/?text=dog&lang=en - to search for "dog".

thanks, ill try

iStudents at Nyack Middle School in New York were served chicken and waffles with a choice of watermelon for dessert on the first day of Black History Month on Wednesday, according to WABC-TV. The school's administration and its food vendor, Aramark, apologized after students and parents pointed out the racial stereotypes the menu reinforced./i

So, if on St Paddy's Day a school served corned beef and cabbage, would all the Irish decent folks be offended by stereotype? Even the ones who are not still drunk?

It works again. I think your mail provider had a problem because I also saw the same thing with another user and that went away too.

A friend wants to know is Klaus Schwab is Jewish?

A friend wants to know is Klaus Schwab is Jewish?

No. The opposite. Father was a Swiss Reformed Engineer named Eugen Schwab who worked in Nazi Germany on Engineering projects for Swiss Contractor Escher Wyss SA.

Klaus' father was also a member of several Nazi Organizations, the Volkswohlfahrt (a Nazi Rotary Club) and the Worker's Front, a Nazi Trades and Professional Syndicate (but muh National Socialists weren't Socialist). His mother is not a "Rothschild", either, but another Swiss named Erika Epprecht who was in Ravensburg Germany with her husband (Klaus' father) during WW2.

The first President of the EU was a leading member of the Nazi Lawyers and Teachers Unions, and gave a speech attended by hundreds celebrating NSDAP accomplishments in the 1930s. Walter Hallstein. The EU is the 3rd Reich by Economic Means, and the EUrocracy goes crazy trying to downplay the Fascist heritage of most of the EU founders.

Meanwhile, in Israel, Left Wing Activists were arrested and cleared from blocking roads after they got butt hurt in yet another election. Israel these past few years is like Italy in the 70s and 80s. So much for the Hebrew Hive Mind, it ruins the Pattern Seeking.

An interesting note from Mahatma Gandhi

Ghandi was a werid freak who wanted young girls to give him enemas. He didn't fuck his wife for decades. He grovelled before Islam as his father was Vice Chancellor under a Muslim Raja, always tough on Hindu Nationalists but always demure towards Muslim ones. He also hated Sikhs for some reason. And Blacks ("Kaffirs"). And a Primitivist who wanted everybody to go back to the loom and pre industrial behavior. And he felt only higher caste wonderful people like himself should represent the Untouchables and they should know their place and not strike or organize (the hypocrisy is rich).

Oh, and everytime he had the Brits by the balls, he gave up. It was the Army-Navy strike by the Indians over the execution of Rebels that collaborated with the IJA that caused the Quit India.

In short, Ghandi was a religious fanatic and masochist. Plenty of anarcho-primitivist smelly vegetarian soyboys in California that like a fat rich chick to beat them and hate the West.

An interesting note from Mahatma Gandhi

He's just expressing his religious belief.

There are people that welcome ushering in of nuclear war, because that will bring back Christ, they believe.

When I heard people openly wishing for nuclear war when I was 20, and being an atheist, I spent 15 years being actively anti-religious, and I'm good at it.

If God is all powerful, and He's good, why would He setup the conditions of salvation to be the torture and death of His son? Are you SURE He's good? After all, being all-powerful, He could have setup ANY conditions for His son and what MANIAC would setup a blood sacrifice of His SON? Isn't the Prince of Lies the devil? Well, if that's true, why do you assume that the Prince of Lies didn't create the Bible to lead you to Hell? God killed every man, woman, child, unborn child, puppy, kitten, everything except for 2 or 7 of each kind depending on the planet in a Great Flood. Is this thing worth worshiping? Why did He plant the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden anyway? And "Tree of Knowledge" - is KNOWLEDGE evil, or is (the so-called) God of the Bible evil? Are you sure the God of the Bible is the true creator, or is God in your heart and mind, and you don't need a complex 1000 page book to know God? The Prince of Lies would need that much to convince you to support evil. And it was the "Tree of Knowledge", why do you spend so much time on attaining knowledge of the Bible?...

I used to enjoy that kind of stuff.

Nothing worse than a politically affiliated and radicalized cat.

Spotted in Croatia:

Not surprising. US soldiers should have been there already.
