As a ukrainian-american, I have many friends and family that are also willing to have ukrainians "fight to the last ukrainian". The issue I believe is that there is more hatred toward Russia, than love for one's own humanity or one another. This clouds judgement and doesn't allow armchair ukrainians who root via CNN to see the big picture of those neocons like Kissinger pulling the strings.

I ordered a set of dishes, original Fiesta Ware from the company. I got them and had two broken giant bowls. They were so cute, but not usable. I put them in my flowerbed, up, leaning against each other. I knew, from the beginning it was a poor color choice to arrive broken. Blue and yellow...but I did it anyway. Yard art, not virtue signaling. Of course, people are so self absorbed and clueless, it was not noticed by anyone but people 'like us'. They asked and I am like Hells NO!

Oh, I do like that! On the what-to-do with broken dishes topic, I keep digging up in my vegetable garden, bits of pottery (sometimes Pennsylvania redware--as I live on a property first farmed in 18th C)....nothing of any size. Also, Fiesta Ware! In my childhood (1950's), my mother put a yellow Fiesta Ware pitcher of milk on the table every night so we children could, having drunk our milk, have more. And my grandmother served us lunch, when we visited, on Fiesta Ware plates. Saw them at my husband's grandmother's home, as well.

I am a descendant of the original Congregationalists--those 1620 folks--my husband has even more of them in his bloodline. I certainly hope that in heaven they are busy glorifying God and totally unaware of what the USA is now doing. This morning I followed (rabbit hole?) a topic in which the writer spoke of the early 19th C. M.D. being discussed as being a member of the Presbyterian Church in that particular town, and I, being a native Bay-stater, screamed, there were NO Presby in New England then! I went to the website of that Congregational Church in Ashland Ma, and was totally unsurprised (yes disgusted) by what they proclaimed. Yuck.

Something like that has been repeated journalistically by a father and son team of journalists who recently won a Pulitzer Prize, John and his son, Ramsey Archibald. They ended up uncovering a scandal at a local police department outside Birmingham. Their reporting for the website al.com resulted in the resignation of the police chief, four new laws, a state audit and a Pulitzer Prize awarded yesterday for that father-son team, along with their colleagues Ashley Remkus and Challen Stephens.

My father, his friends, my grand-parents did not have any idea how systematically knowledge of the organizing principles had been removed from public view in their lifetimes. They tended to trust the government which was not into their lives like the 'government' (whatever it is?) is now. And my schooling in the 1950's and 1960's was even worse than what they received. Things are much worse now. Back then, we could travel around the world and hold our heads up. Now, I am ashamed of the lies and terrorism perpetrated by the United States and the Super-Agency operating in the West. The magnitude of this tragedy is beyond compare.

I went to school in France for my senior year in college, and this was 1973-74. I traveled around a lot, and for the most part, people in France and especially in England were very positive about America, but this was noticeably true for the older people who still expressed thanks and appreciation for what the U.S. did during WW2. One thing I distinctly remember, however, was one time in Germany a young man said in quite angry tones, "You Americans are so racist". A few of the young French expressed a similar view, which I found amusing because the French in the south of France where I lived had a multi-tiered price system in the cafés and restaurants: Cheapest price was for customers who were local, native French. A bit more expensive for out of area French. Next higher price was for foreigners (including Americans). The HIGHEST price was for the many local Algerians who were imported to do the grunt work, construction, janitorial etc. But those French who sneer at America would never consider themselves racists, no no noooooo.

daverkb's avatar

The French are quite inconsistent ... and maybe only the French can totally understand the French. I ought to know, because I worked for a French firm when a young man in New York City, Island of Manhattan. Still, with all their posturing and strange ways, I enjoyed working for these French people over American firms. Whatever their faults, the French were quite human. And if you treated them well, they would go to the wall for you. It was a strange experience, and in many ways, quite delightful. Anyone who did their job well was appreciated.

In France, Italy and elsewhere, the Resistance Underground were largely Communist. And also, there were a lot of Communist newspapers and so on in Europe post-war when I was a young man. And working off this base, Woke came into Europe as it did in America. So, I understand your remarks and experience within this context. And by the way, Communists and Marxists in general always hate the existing order, traditional morality ... and above all, a Christian ordered basis of reality by law and world view. Hence, Communists are always at war with anyone who is not one of them. We see this in spades all around us. Unfortunately, it seems to be always a matter of them or us. And by the way, I never saw Europe as a monolith.

I had a guitar teacher friend in New York who used to pal around with a son of Picasso. This was in his Paris day. One day, we are talking about art and I remarked that Picasso was a Communist. And my friend who was a Spaniard said, "Well if he was, then he was the richest Communist if ever met!" Yes, Picasso lived very well and was driven around in some very smart looking cars.

Now I'm suspicious, because the 1928 version says it supercedes the document called Manual of Citizenship Training, from 1927. That one exists in various military libraries, it appears, but seems not to be available for download or purchase. What changed, I wonder, between 1927 and 1928? The original author was an Army Chaplain.

Vonu's avatar

The only thing I can find with the title of Manual of Citizenship is:

DAR Manual for Citizenship

From as early as 1910, the DAR has helped immigrants become naturalized citizens. For more than 85 years, the DAR has compiled and published the DAR Manual For Citizenship (PDF). More than 12 million copies of this book were distributed free of charge to immigrants seeking American citizenship. The manual is now provided online.

In 2004, the U.S. Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services used the DAR Manual for Citizenship as a guide when creating their new study materials for citizenship.

The manual continues to be useful for those studying to become citizens, and for students learning about U.S. citizenship and immigration. Classrooms may use it as a tool to inform students what new citizens must learn before becoming a naturalized citizen.

The manual covers topics such as: the American Revolution, Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Bill of Rights, Democracy, U.S. government, role of citizens, the U.S. Flag, Statue of Liberty and becoming a citizen.

DAR members at Ellis Island volunteered with recent immigrants and at the Marine Hospital.

Today, DAR members across the country continue to help immigrants become naturalized citizens as well as celebrate their achievements by participating in naturalization ceremonies in their local communities.

To view and print the DAR Manual for Citizenship (PDF), please click here.

I had a similar experience, Amanda. My high school English department taught us how to discern fact from opinion and how to detect propaganda. We were also taught the evils of communism. I have wondered from the start why we have no embedded news media in Ukraine like we did in VietNam and Iraq. They dominated the nightly news. I also watch night-time entertainment to monitor their woke thinking patterns. It is sometimes so heavy handed and juvenile that it is laughable. IQs have certainly slid over the cliff to single digits in the last 30-40 years.

Thank God for those good teachers back then. And yes, what we are not being told is as important as what we are. I was rubbish at art but I remember being taught it's the spaces between brushstrokes that create the whole picture - it's the same with any narrative - what are they leaving out in order for you to see the picture they want you to see. Honestly, these last 3 years have been like one long seminar in critical thinking where the actions of respective govts, global organisations etc have had the opposite effect of the one they intended; the techniques they've deployed have woken an awful lot of people up and taught same the critical thinking skills they were lacking before.

I was teaching in Iran in 1977-79 during the period of the Iranian revolution and fall of the Shah. My parents would send me news clippings about what was supposedly going on from U.S. newspapers and I also read Time and Newsweek accounts of events. I was astounded at how totally wrong all the reporting was. Probably deliberately wrong as I would now think, but at that time, I was focused on how uninformed and clueless all the reporting was. Also in Iran, there was extreme local censorship that was laughably obvious, so my B.S. detection skills were honed during that period of time.

Exactly. Often it's impossible to know "The Truth" but one can often make educated guesses. I'm most familiar with Nietzsche in "Beyond Good and Evil." Here, among other examples, he dissects the claims of philosophers who construct elaborate arguments to support their version of Truth. Nietzsche suggests a more interesting line of inqury, applicable to all areas of thought: Rather than try and arrive at objective truth, which may well be impossible, instead he suggests that one inquire into WHY the need, the motivation, to believe that something is a certain way.

Chelsea Clinton: "We're working with WHO and The Gates Foundation and others to hopefully have the largest childhood immunization effort ever over the next 18 months to catch as many kids up as possible."

Same for the employees of Pfizer and other other vaxxers. They either skipped all the shots (like the CEO admits) or got a special batch that wasn't available to the public. I could find a link to that last claim if I looked hard enough.

And of course Congress was exempt. While they're mandating jabs for everyone else.

Being an ambassador requires no special skills. I saw that up close and personal in the years I spent living in both Iran and Saudi Arabia. My impression of these people was that they were not real intelligent or knowledgeable, but they were heavy drinkers (who may have gone to a place like Saudi Arabia to dry out, but the irony was that in the right circles, alcohol was flowing freely) who spent all their time schmoozing at cocktail parties with other useless ambassadors on the embassy row party circuit. So Caroline Kennedy or even Chelsea Clinton would fit in just fine, dunces that they both are.

The chapter of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World Revisited on 'brainwashing' explains horrible experiments on dogs done by Pavlov, in which he figured out what terrorized each dog and timed how long it took to make it submit to his 'training.' He found that some were more resistant than others, but that all of them had a limit. Further, he found that if they 'learned' something under extreme stress, it would never fade; their behavior was permanently changed. Apply that to this poor woman. What was done to people over the last three years needs reckoning and justice.

Alice P. Liddell's avatar

You're correct. My husband and I did not get the jabs. My husband still suffers today from the Anthrax vax he received while in the USMC....so we were both skeptical of the covid vax.

I cannot hate people, such as my parents and many of my friends, that succumbed to the fear and propaganda. I have worked successfully, in many cases, to keep them from getting more covid shots.

I do not like the harassment, isolation, and threats that many of the unvaxxed receive(d) but I cannot wish the vaxxed to die or have terrible things happen to them because they were manipulated. They truly believe(d) that our government was helping them and had their best interests at heart. They were conned into believing that if everyone got vaxxed that everything would return to normal. They were whipped into a frenzy and could not think logically.

However, those that were "in on it" (such as Fauci) I have no sympathy for them. They are truly disgusting people and deserve to be severely punished. The woman on Twitter that took repeated covid tests is ill...but not from covid. Her life is probably a hell. She's afraid of covid, afraid that if she does get it she didn't work hard enough not to get it, afraid to be cancelled, and probably walking around masked.

I just wish the vaxxed would wake up and admit that they were duped. They need to stop lining up for more shots and they need to tell any adverse events that they had from the shots. Then we could all work together to try to find a cure for the damage from the covid shots... and from covid ( both are biological weapons). We need people awake and together so that we're all ready for whatever else these sickos have planned for us.

My sis from FL came to visit last week. She caught covid on her trip here (bummer). She was sick the entire time except for the first day.

When we got back we both started ivm, on day 4 of her illness. She didn’t feel good but improved each day and I never caught it. I’m impressed that I didn’t catch it after that extreme exposure, although I was taking every remedy imaginable along with ivm! And thankfully no one else caught it.

I related that story to someone and they asked if she quarantined. I wanted to say H—- no! We get to see her once a year at best. Of course we didn’t get out of the house, but we aren’t going to avoid each other for fear of a stupid virus!

Ivermectin is one of, if not the safest drug out there. When everyone we were around Christmas week 2022 came down with Omnicron my husband and I took it after he insisted we get the test.... Tested positive and immediately began taking Ivermectin, HCQ, extra zinc, extra C and D, Z-pak and extra hydration and rest. We were sick for 48 hours, 24 hours after starting those meds we were well. Everyone who refused the therapeutics were sick for 10 days to 2 weeks. Some ended up with long covid. I've taken low dose Ivermectin once a week since then. Why? Because I've read enough about it, besides it destroyed the asthma I'd had since my 20s. No asthma, no chronic cough, not even as much as a cold. Yep, there are less than 5 drugs I'll take, and Ivermectin is one of them.

Expand full comment
Freebird's avatar

I agree Maggie. And I’ve read that ivm is actually more effective as a prophylactic than as a cure. I think HCQ is better at curing and I’ve never gotten a prescription for that. But it’s a good practice to take ivm once a week for sure. My brother asked his doctor how long he should take it and he said, “once a week for the rest of your life”. Sensible doctor.

Expand full comment
Maggie Think of Me's avatar

Agree 100%. I believe, because it stopped my asthma, that there is some component that helps the respiratory track... HCQ was the first drug to be used for covid, so I'd stay partial to that drug as well. My pulmologist used to fill my meds 4x a year, two inhalers, and prednisone for the bad flare-ups. Told her I was cured by Ivermectin back then. She didn't believe me at first but, I've not needed those meds so, she's between a rock and a hard place. Finally agreed it had to be true. And, I'm no longer a patient of a pulmoligist.

As a pharmacist, I asked a customer why he was buying a test kit. He said he "wanted to know". I asked him what he would do if he were positive. Eventually, he decided he didn't need the test. Victory!

"As some of you know, my opinion is people like Dean Preston are deploying an intentional strategy of turning major US cities into Gotham City (before Batman), to help lefty billionaires buy up the most expensive real estate in the country at pennies on the dollar."

Other people have theorized that this is what's going on. However, what I don't get is, once you degrade property values to the point where wealthy people and businesses flee, how do you get them back? What do you do to make now-worthless real estate valuable again?

Honestly, it's gotten to the point where it's easier for me to believe we've been taken over by evil shape-shifting aliens who want to destroy the human race.

I believe you are correct but they aren’t aliens from another planet—just good old fashioned evil spirits who possess humans at the order of Satan. The digital age has made this plan much easier but it won’t last.

Easy Peezy. These are billionaires who will be stealing the now decrepit, undesirable properties. The police will be rehired and reempowered, or more likely, AI controlled robots will enforce the newly reconstituted laws using all of the latest surveillance technology, the garbage will be cleaned up, the homeless forcefully removed, any and all damage repaired, or simply rebuilt. Presto, SF, or pick a city, is now beautiful again, and a highly desirable place to live or do business. All of the politicans pushing the destruction of the cities will instantly be law and order fans.

Plan to force us back into 15 minutes cities. Controlled surveillance like China. C40.org details some of this. Supposedly Bill Gates has a prototype city in AZ or NM that he’s putting in billions. Hope he bankrupts himself with it.

Now, after being a hot zone, and with the Detroit Democrats censuring one of their own who thanked Trump for suggesting hydroxychloriquine, plus the FBI raiding a clinic giving IV vitamin C to first responders, and hospitals firing nurses who went public with being expected to each care for 12 patients on ventilators (Sinai Grace), and Pink Pussyhat Whitmer grooming herself for a federal position by allowing hospital mergers, kissing Chinese battery factory arse, shooting down balloons over Lake Huron, and passing third graders who can't read because social/emotional learning, the WEF has swooped in to make Detroit one of its Urban Transformation Centers, meaning bike lanes for a place with six months of winter, where there are no sidewalks. Not ending gun violence, getting the rats out of the unheated schools, bringing education ahead of poverty, but extracting every once of wealth and "greening" everyone with their equity and inclusion and diversity blowhard meaningless BS. First in America, the globalists destroyed 40, 000 factories in the heartland, destroyed 3 million small businesses during the pandemic, and now they are destroying the beautiful West Coast cities with DIE and defund the police. SF is also a WEF hub, so a wet dream for cheap real estate for billionaires plus a place to enact their disingenuous green climate and equity religions.

Detroit, though, had many years of corrupt Banana Republic governance, and a wealth obsessed useless city council, who have now sold their own citizens out for some bike lanes.

I don’t think it will be too difficult to remake these cities once they’re completely owned by the oligarchs. They will simply start to enforce the law, remove the resisters and establish 15 minute cities with facial recognition surveillance to achieve the result they are after. Catherine Austin Fitts has done a lot of work in this area and lays it all out on her website.

I was wondering about that a few minutes ago, what would those billionaires do with the property--tear down and build a new mall for people who no longer live there, no longer go into the city to shop? Surely it would take decades (probably the Roman calculus of 70 years after a disaster).

Driving property values down makes for a great buying opportunity, if you have no morals. So wealthy WEF types would buy the now-nearly-abandoned downtown areas and "Build Back Better" into 15-minute, all-surveillance-and-control, all the time, cities.

That’s my guess. I think they are destroying San Francisco so China will move in and take over. China already has a solid foothold there. Then it can be the Capitol city for their slice of the American pie that will be part of China.

Last week I posted for the first time and asked Jeff for help regarding a non-discrimination ordinance my city is trying to pass that is attempting to limit religious organizations’ freedoms.

Jeff responded quickly and sent me very helpful information. The first reading of the ordinance was Monday night and we filled the main room , overflow and had people who never made it in!

Here’s a link to the video. At 2:49 the mayor gives an excellent presentation against the ordinance.

I think this is just a ploy to destroy our country, not make money. Soros has plenty of money, he and his kids are old, they aren't holding property to turn around in three or four decades. Best case, it's a play to build 15-minute cities in these places, but even that's a stretch. This seems far more evil.

As you can imagine by my handle, I Can't Imagine, the part of today's post that I must comment on is about Kyle and his turbo cancer. I Can Imagine what his parents and all the people who loved Kyle are experiencing; unbelievable grief and guilt. I am sure they are upset that they waited even that little time they did while their son was clearly suffering with "back pain", to get him some relief, although it obviously wouldn't have been able to save his life. I pray, and I hope you will join me, in giving them some peace in this as they would have had to have been omniscient, and only God is, to have known it could be anything like it was. Only God. Only God will be able to provide them the peace that passes all understanding. Dear Lord, give them that peace.

That back pain was caused by the proliferation of leukemia cells in his blood stream. Our eldest daughter was diagnosed with leukemia after months of colds, fatigue and weight loss... she had been to the ER repeatedly, complaining of excruciating back pain...they treated her with NOTHING! Sent her home with an Rx for Ferrous Sulfate (an OTC iron pill) ... when her blood tests showed she was neutrapenic! She was living in Puerto Rico, in between jobs and no health insurance. We flew her home and within two days she was diagnosed. The hem-onc docs told us she'd have died in 2 weeks or less. She survived a 4% chance...THANK GOD!

He could have had symptoms that weren't as obvious...but once the leukemia cells dominate the blood, the pain it brings is overwhelming. My heart goes out to his parents and family. May they find comfort and peace through Jesus.

What exactly did Fox News do that would have required them paying Dominion Voting so much that they were willing to give up the most bankable thing in their news room? This whole thing has a feel of an agreed upon way for some people to transfer money (for whatever reason) to another group(s) without the media, government or anyone else taking note of that real reason. I think that is what is going on with us in Ukraine. Massive transfer of wealth and the ever increasing speed of demolition of our country. Like get the money out and then let the thing burn.

So can I sue Brian Stelter? He assaulted me with his stupid liberal blather on that clip. I also feel he defamed me because I know I am not his type because I am conservative and support open free speech that even Tucker has a right to say whatever he wants. Unchecked. (Really that dork is NOT my type either - can he sue me?) Doubt he has a lot of money (I mean they did fire him too, right?) But could I sue for his place at Davos so I can see what those world domination wackos are up to?

Since it doesn’t really seem like c19 is being transmitted through society anymore, could it be that the vax and bi-v boosters and its capability of making your body produce spike proteins is actually the cause of covid itself? I mean, the ONLY people I really hear that keep getting Covid are the vaxxed. And turbo cancers where you only get one day to ponder your bucket list. That sucks!

And 9 tests means that girl is an idiot with no critical thinking skills left to determine that maybe the tests are bogus? Probably an after effect of being vaccinated and brainwashed into the fear cult.
