Vesper 21,934 Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 (edited) Having worked with Norse and Elder Futhark iconography for years, I’m quite alert to the glyph shapes and their associations in the modern world and history. So, why is the #CPAC2021 stage an Odal rune, and specifically one with serifs (or wings) that was used by the SS? Flag with ODAL (with 'feet' ) for " volksdeutsche " in Croatia and th. SS -volunteers roller division Aigner until 1945. The design mimics swastika flag in Nazi Germany . Edited February 26 by Vesper Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cosmicway 1,005 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 British nuclear arsenal to be increased by 40%, BJ announced. It makes me curious though as to how this is to be used, if ever. Extreme threat from an enemy might be the answer. Ok, sounds logical, but I never understood how a nuke war might actually work. Consider the last war. The biggest operation was D-day. On the 6th of June 1944 the allies launched a surprise attack against the German defenses in Normandy. The objective was to secure the four beaches and then proceed inland. The operation was a success, partly because Adolph Hitler was asleep on the crucial morning. But what if Hitler possessed nukes ? A single bomb would be sufficient ot wipe out the entire invasion fleet and there would be no Normandy invasion. By the same token, for the allies too it would n't make sense to embark on the operation at all. What about Stalingrad and the operation blau in 1942 ? The Germans were held for four months outside the city of Stalingrad and in the end they were encircled and defeated when the Soviet reinforcements arrived. In this case if nukes existed they might have settled the argument much quicker one way or the other. In modern warfare it is considered of vital importance to secure the axis Saxony-Westfalia in Germany. In this case if we are the Warsaw pact or Putin and succeed in doing this, we have NATO on the run. But again is that so ? NATO will use neutron bombs and wipe out the Russians from that place. Then the Russians will respond in kind and hit London-Birmingham-Paris-Rome and NATO will retaliate against Moscow and so on and so forth. So therefore, I don't see how those all important land battles of the last wars will be restaged and give victory to one side or the other. We won't see the likes of Normandy-Stalingrad-Bagration-Anzio-Ardennes and all the rest. How ? If we look at all this as pacifists then it's terrible, it should n't happen. But if we look at it as militarists, it begs the question who wins and how in a nuclear war ? I don't know if the military has an answer and what that answer might be. But I do know that in world wars I and II the militaries were fooled into thinking in terms of the older wars and many strategic mistakes were committed - e.g. the fall of France in 1940. The techological advances and their consequences were disregarded on many occasions with dire results. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chippy 294 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 A sickening crime commited in Rochester New York, would have been national and international news if the killers and the victim were different. Protests, riots and speeches from Biden and Johnston would have followed. But yet again, something like this has been completely covered up by the the and social media. The USA is no more! The divide between this Left and everyone who isn't one of them is now so wide it can't ever fixed. The only sensible and peaceful way of moving forward is to split the country into Democrat and Republican regions and let them go their own way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

robsblubot 2,596 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 should be fun for folks who took those claims seriously: https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/22/politics/sidney-powell-dominion-lawsuit-election-fraud/index.html Right-wing lawyer Sidney Powell is claiming in a new court filing that reasonable people wouldn't have believed as fact her assertions of fraud after the 2020 presidential election. The election infrastructure company Dominion Voting Systems sued Powell for defamation after she pushed lawsuits and made appearances in conservative media on behalf of then-President Donald Trump to sow doubt about the 2020 election results. Dominion claims that Powell knew her election fraud accusations were false and hurtful to the company. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cosmicway 1,005 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I was looking at the Alexandrov choir videos in youtube, because they sing some Greek songs. Then I noticed one about the annexation of Crimea by Putin, in praise of the annexation obviously. I clicked on it and youtube asked for age verification with an id card ! I don't have my id's scan stored in this computer so I did n't do it. But what the hack ? What is the story behind this ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vesper 21,934 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 THE HIGHLIGHTS A new report is shedding light on the 1994 Rwanda genocide. THE BACKGROUND. Most Rwandans - about 85 percent - are Hutus, but for a while, the Tutsi minority was the ruling power. Untilllll 1959, when the Hutus overthrew the Tutsi monarchy, causing a group of Tutsis to form a rebel group and try to take back control. Four years later, both sides shook hands on a peace deal. But peace was pretty much thrown out the window a year after that, when a plane carrying the prez and his counterpart - both Hutus - was shot down, killing everyone on board. Hutu extremists pointed fingers at Tutsi rebels...and planned a genocide as revenge. In just 100 days, 800,000 Tutsis and other political opponents were brutally murdered. THE HAPPENINGS. Throughout this whole thing, France had very very close ties to the Hutu gov and even sent troops to Rwanda. That prompted France to release a report last month basically saying that while they totally remained allied with the “racist, corrupt, and violent” Hutu leadership, they weren’t at all complicit in the genocide itself. Scratch that, because yesterday, a report commissioned by the current Rwandan gov declared that France enabled the killings. THE DEETS. More specifically: France “armed, advised, trained, equipped, and protected” the Rwandan gov during the genocide. Then tried to cover up its involvement. All of this was just to advance its own influence and interests in the country. THE TAKE. The report directly links France to one of the world’s worst genocides. TBD. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chippy 294 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 When Western countries take sides or try and do something they get lambasted. When Western countries don't take action they lambasted for not taking action. Hmmm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember studying about this many years ago at University -and the role of radio broadcasts in dehumanising. The propaganda slowly built up and in the end the broadcasts were referring to Tutsis as rats, insects etc. This is common in all massacres/genocides the dehumanising of opponents into sub human entities.
