I ran a half marathon in 2016. There was a young man in front of me for the majority of the race who was running barefoot. I was truly impressed. I'd been training consistently and finished somewhere in the top fifty out of a couple of hundred runners. The fellow with no shoes wasn't far behind.
Since getting sick and recovering from Babesiosis at the height of COVID, I somehow came across the purported Schumann Resonance, a healing electromagnetic field which can be accessed by unhindered contact with the earth (dude). Schumann Resonance or not, walking barefoot is an experience unto itself. I don't do it often enough. It almost feels taboo to slip off the shoes while out on the trails and waddle along over the dirt, sticks and gravel. Feet toughen over time and it gets easier. Keep it up Linh!
the creepiest creeps can exercise free rein of their sexual appetites in desperate times - 'Joyless Street', Greta Garbo's first film, deals with this very explicitly and frankly
It is just an absolute mystery as to why 200 years together is the only Solzhenitsyn book to not be translated into English. We have to read the Samizdat version because we have democracy.
When in 1550 the Polish King Sigismund August desired to permit them free entry into Russia, this was denied by Ivan(the Terrible) with these words: “We absolutely do not permit the entry of the Jew into my lands, because we do not wish to see evil in our lands, but rather may God grant that the people in my land may have rest from that irritation. And you, our brother, should not write us on account of the Jews again,”for they had “alienated the Russians from Christianity, brought poisonous plants into our lands and done much evil to our lands.”
Yeah, there is a reason they have been kicked out of 109 countries. When I was a kid many adults still held a realistic view of the Jews. But propaganda works.
Nazis are still used to terrify whites into not criticizing Jews but their heyday was 80 years ago. When I was a teenager, that would have meant people being compared to the head of the Austria Hungarian empire. No one cared.
A reviewer there raises a thorny issue re translations. According to him there are passages where Solzhenitsyn details Nazi atrocities and wonders whether this may have contributed to criticism of previous translations.
I'd like to mention the Katyn Forest and related Soviet massacres of Polish intelligentsia which I'd read about in revisionist literature. These were falsely blamed on Germany by the Soviets and accepted by the Allies as truth. A big lie that needed to be corrected. Yet there was no mention of similar Nazi killings of captured Poles in those revisionist corrections. Someone (JPB?) here mentioned it and I found on-line confirmation. WIKI's not to be trusted, but pre-emptive execution of potential trouble makers doesn't seem implausible during war time. Is that omission another case of incomplete reporting of inconvenient facts from our side? I don't believe such protectionism (if true) to be well served.
I see your point,I dont know what really happened,either.I know one thing,German comedian Karl Valentin wrote a letter to the defense ministry during the war,saying,in times of dire fuel shortages,Britain is bombing us,and we are bombing them,if we bomb ourselves,and Britain likewise bombs itself,could not a lot of fuel be saved?.He didnt get any more gigs after that.
The salient issue here is who started bombing civilians. The answer is Churchill and his RAF commander "Bomber" Harris. They called it strategic bombing which meant anything that supported the enemy's war effort was targeted. In reality it meant industrial cities ie big cities where you got more bang for your bomb were the desired targets. Since high altitude bombing especially at night was notoriously inaccurate, you could still hope for a fire that would destroy all the surrounding area of some factory or bridge. Hitler didn't respond to the change in aerial assault targeting immediately. Took him a couple of months to realize the English were bombing civilians as terror policy and weren't about to stop. The notorious Blitz was the result of Churchill's aggression against Germany's civilians.
Stolypin, the tsar's liberal reformer, was assassinated by a Jew. The average Shlomo welcomed reforms to allow him more freedom. Communists and anarchists desired repression to foment revolution.
No! Saying Jews control publishing is sacrilegious. Remember those 6 million who were masturbated to death then turned into lampshades.
A more probable explanation is Putin hates us for our freedom and democracy. Can you believe that in Russia they aren't free to staff their government with Israeli citizens?
I've lost a lot of faith in Putin. My Russian blogovnik @slavland chronicles tells me Putin isn't much of a Russian patriot. He desires accommodation w/ the West, a seat at the table w/ the big boys, which is why he pulled back from an early victory over Kiev and allowed the US to engineer the Maidan revolution in the first place. He also had the Wagner group decimated to prevent further successful military embarrassments which expose the ineptitude of the govt forces.
I don't know how many Jews are in Putin's cabinet, certainly not as many as Biden. But their power is evident in a major Chabad presence and Putin's personal background. He's Judeo-Christian just like our prominent religionists..
> I just stopped to sneak a photo of that lottery ticket seller who rarely smiles. Only Henry I never did so, after his son William went down with the White Ship off Normandy. In lovely Chinese blouse with its wickedly demure pankou, she emerged from a primordial or post apocalyptic darkness, to scatter my balls and dick across this timeless universe.
The second sentence seems out of place, like a bomb dropped by mistake.

Linh, your next challenge is to do a translation/close reading of 200 Years Together

I´m confused,I have a pdf of it(https://archive.org/details/200YearsTogether),says `The incorrect Library`on the cover.I just now randomly scrolled to page 19(of 774),it says:

That link worked better for me.

No real mystery- Jews control publishing. However a translation scheduled for 2025. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Hundred_Years_Together

"From that glorious miasma, Hitler emerged. What will rise from the American swamp?"
Indeed, perhaps the most pertinent question of our time.

The word pankou in the next sentence caught my eye. I've often seen this fastening, but never knew its name or history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frog_(fastening)
