Androcide is a classic form of genocide. It eliminates a threat and the next genration. ISIS killed the men, but kept Yazidi women alve. In Yugoslavia, it was men and boys that were killed off. In Rwanda, men were specifically targeted and women were to be raped. During the Armenian genocide, it was males that were systematically killed. Gengis Khan kicked it all off when he ordered the killing of all Tatars "taller than a linchpin". Putin as an ultranationalist and Slavic supremicist. He frequently quotesm Ilyin and Dugin. His ideology has been described as "Ruscism". Like other isms it starts off with a fantasy view of the past; Putin's heroes are Peter the Great and Nicholas I, and frequently refers to the Kievan Rus, as if that has any relevance in the 21st Century. Its imagined glories by a single race, the "Rus", with a healthy dose of self pity (the Slavs were Slaves). My point was obvious. What motivates Putin, and why he won't stop this war. History is a series of interconnected events, but ultimately, we are seeing the final death throes of the Russian Empire, as it seeks to eat itself from the inside, in pursuance of racial purity (another reason to attack Ukraine; more servile Slavs). Russia is destroying itself, because of a lack of national self-confidence, because ultimately, the Russian Federation is not a real country, consisting of united peoples. Putin sees his core support as being among the Slavs. Non-Slavic peoples are of no consequence to him; these people only exist to serve the slavs. At the same time, by not invoking mass mobilisation, he avoids the emergence of opposition to the war. He is aware that the Soviet retreat from Afghanistan was not because of Mujahadeen success on the battlefield, or American arms supplies. It was because of the Mothers' Committees; a ground swell of popular resentment against losses (also proving the myth of Soviet indefatigability). He won't stop because of mounting losses; the losses are inconsequential, and help his other problems (getting rid of non-slavs). He is confident that there is enough meat among what he sees as inferior races, to fend off any serious oppostion. However, he has built a kleptocratic state, where your success is measured by how much you can steal. And Putin is the biggest thief. The Russian War Industry has supercharged this theft. These Russian arms companies aren't like Western Arms companies, in that they have no shareholders, and they are run by essentially psychopaths. Life is good for these men. I'm confident that a break up of the Russian empire, and the emergence of a confident Muscovy Republic, which has a rich literary history, will allow it to take its place alongside other European countries, getting rid of this twisted self-identity as a "Eurasian" country. They might stop acting like Berkshure Hunts.

Russian Hearts and Minds. Russia erects Stalin monument in occupied Melitopol to mark Victory Day, the Georgian bloke who starved millions of Ukrainians to death.

I sense not a full commitment from everyone

Someone knows their history "Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks" The letter from the Sultan The reply of the Zaporozhians:

Will hit 1 million maimed and dead by 8th June.

The Kremlin has fallen.

Don't bother. On ignore. Its for the best.

I have not touched alcohol for 30 years since my sister was killed by a drunken driver and I found my Savious. Alcohol is a root of evil. Apologise for that quip. Being under the influence of alcohol or drugs is deeply shameful, and a sign of a weak and ungodly character.

I made reference to federal agents not wearing uniforms, masking their faces. Other agencies wear clear uniforms. If there is a need for plain clothes, I could accept this. Guards for a holding facility should be wearing clear unifirms. The cheap vests do not constitute that. You decided to hijack the thread with a cryptic post about a dead pedophile, quoting me. Are you implying that I am a pedophile and trying to intimidate me? Maybe English is not your native tongue. I think yuo have genuinely gotten mixed po in threads and who you were replying to, or you don't understand the quote function on forums. I am waiting for a full and fullsome retraction and apology.

And Russia will never be able to control or profit from the areas it occupies. https://neweasterneurope.eu/2025/05/06/anti-colonial-hybrid-defence-how-ukraines-resistance-fights-in-the-occupied-territories/ https://english.nv.ua/russian-war/three-years-of-yellow-ribbon-ukraine-s-nonviolent-partisans-keep-resisting-russian-occupation-50509857.html https://www.newsweek.com/ukraine-atesh-railways-blow-luhansk-2064737 https://www.rusi.org/podcasts/rusi-journal-radio/episode-9-resistance-networks-and-total-defence The Soviets thought it was probably a done deal when theyn rolled into the Baltic states. For 50 years, the Baltic peoples never gave up, despite Moscow trying to stuff their countries with colonists (just like what Putin is now doing). You think the Baltic people should have given up, because militarily nothing was going to shift the wicked Soviet government's forces. https://www.thebalticway.eu/en/history/

It has never been up to him what free nations want to do. This is something the apologists either forget to mention, or don't understand.

Its not so much that, but there is no State Department employee who could be called to recount under oath to recount what was said. I suspect the Russian translators will give an accurate translation to the American interlocateur. But there s no official transcript about what was said, or promises made.

How's that related to federal employees turning up to work in piss soaked trousers and tatty trucker caps, with no sense of dress sense? Perhaps you are quoting the wrong post. And I am referring to the men identifed as "Police" (ICE) not the FBI.

He might have been on barricades leading the protests, for you know But you are employing Whataboutism, and you don't know the answer. Where were you when Nixon got caught/Reagan and Contras/Carter and Hostages/Bush and Panama/ Bush and Saddam/Clinton and dirty Dress/JFK and Dallas etc. It is completely irrelevant whether or not he expressed outrage and concern over Obama. People change their minds. You were evidently an Obama supporter when he "put" "them" in "cages", and now you are a Trump supporter for doing much the sae thing. So a political vagrant.

Bets being placed when "so-called Pope" is used. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2017/02/21/president-trumps-favorite-so-called-insult/ The US is a naturally Protestant country; Puritans form a big part of its history. One of the beliefs of Puritans, and certain modern day Protestants is that all Roman Catholics will go to hell and that the Pope is the Antichrist. "Puritan" comes from wanting to clean the church of Catholic practices. Since the 50s, at least, its been the Evangelists, mainly Billy Graham, who has been the spiritual advisor to Presidents. And Evangelists are still influential. So utter nonsense like this. There is a reason why only 2 out of 47 Presidents (Kennedy, Biden) were Catholic. Yet, 1 in 4 Americans are Catholic. Yet, extraordinarily, a third of the Cabinet are Roman Catholics. You might think, that's fair, they represent the fact that 1 in 4 Americans are Catholic. 5 Supreme Court Judges, all conservative, are catholics. MAGA Catholics is a thing, with prominant members being Catholic converts, like Vance and Bannon. Pope Leo is relatively young; he's going to be around for at least 20 years. In someways, he is a conservative Catholic, but most areas, he is liberal. Puritans split from the Catholic church. WIll an American Catholicism emerge? When will the 47th President announce his conversion? His wife is one of these Eastern Bloc Communist Catholics. His youngest son is a Catholic and he himself now describes himself as "non-denominational Christian", which of course is a ludicous position

Remember there were initially invited into the prison, then asked to leave which they did, going into the public carpark, before ICE stormed in... Now ICE etc are trying to claim they were assaulted by the congressmen, one of which is 80. They've threatened them with arrest. "The notion that I or any of my colleagues ‘body slammed’ armed federal officers is absurd. DHS is lying because they know their agents were out of line.” https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/dhs... Homeland Security Dept. accuses lawmakers of ‘storming’ an ICE facility despite oversight laws saying they could be there Three members of Congress from New Jersey, along with protesters, faced off with Department of Homeland Security officers on Friday after visiting a local ICE detention facility. The incident started as officers attempted to arrest the mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, after he tried to join the lawmakers inside the facility. As tensions grew, so did the physicality of the situation, with officers and lawmakers pushing and shouting at one another before Baraka, a Democrat, was ultimately detained for several hours. He was released Friday evening. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/05/10/politics/dhs-la... 2 years before Congresswoman Taylor-Greene pointedly used her right as an elected official to visit and commisserate with violent criminals in prison https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/mar/27/marjorie-taylor-greene-led-delegation-to-visit-capitol-attack-defendants-in-jail https://www.rev.com/transcripts/marjorie-taylor-greene-matt-gaetz-press-conference-after-trying-to-see-january-6-prisoners My late father was a fan of "lock 'em up", and trusting the system. Then he volunteered, when retired, to be an official visitor to police stations. Members of the public can go in, and see the cells, speak to the inmates. He was shocked. Most of the inmates were kids. They had done wrong, but he became sympathetic when he saw them squatting in cells with no mattress, given a piss soaked blanket by the custody sergeant, denied a hot meal. He was ex-Army, and knew the police were being delinquent, and he ripped them a new one, telling them to do their job. After that first visit, even though he was an ex-smoker, he would take a pack of ciggies in. He wanted these lads to realise the error or their ways, but they were entitled to be treated humanely. So I have sympathies with both the Republican congressmen who wanted to speak to 6th January Insurgents as well as the Democrat politicians wanting to meet those in ICE custody. In both cases, there are federal jobsworths who probably are trying to cover things up, (not doing their job basically). To block a mayor seems semantics. As the former judge said, normally facility officials are overjoyed when politicians want to visit them.

On his watch

Ensures there are no witnesses to what was actually discussed, as per when there then 45th President met privately with Putin.

In China Public caning in Indonesia Indonesian Walk of Shame Public flogging in Iran Public flogging in India 11 year old boys undergoing public punishment in Nepal Use of the Stocks remains on the UK statute books. The last time the stocks were use was 1872. The last time the pillory (which was banned) was used was 1830. The convicted would be given a choice of one hour in the pillory or transportation to Australia. In Hansard, when they debated the abolition of the Pillory it turned out one of the reasons was it made a mockery of the law if the person in the pillory had the support of the crowd, or was a sympathetic character. The case of Dr. Shebbeare was a remarkable one. He had been sentenced to the pillory; but though this was intended as a disgrace, if turned out a sort of triumph. He was put upon, but not in the pillory; the sheriff held an umbrella over his head to shelter him from the rain or the sun; and a servant stood by to attend upon and hand him refreshment, while he was at the same time applauded by the spectators: so that the punishment, instead of being disgraceful to him, was an insult upon the law. Another case applicable to the point was that of Daniel Isaac Eaton. He had been put in the pillory for a very serious offence, that of endeavouring to throw contempt and ridicule on the fundamental principles of the Christian religion; and as an example to the prisoners, he presumed, he was pilloried opposite to Newgate gaol: but the crowd, probably from some mistake as to the nature of his offence, applauded him. In this case, too, the punishment was far more lenient than the judges intended. A person was pilloried in Southwark for an unnatural crime, and the criminal was so treated by the mob that he actually died the moment he was taken from the machine. Judge Eyre, in a case where one had by perjury attempted to swear away another person's life, had refrained from inflicting the punishment of the pillory, on the very ground that the punishment might in reality be different from what the Court intended. Earl Stanhope objected to the pillory, because it was a punishment so likely to be unequal in its operation: for instance, if the noble Secretary and himself were sentenced to the pillory for libels, especially on the discussion of the Corn Bill, his apprehension was that the noble Secretary would have been confoundedly pelted, while he (lord S.) would have escaped any ill treatment from the public. https://hansard.parliament.uk/lords/1815-07-05/debates/3c82cd34-05f8-4825-9bf0-9f70e6fb8b7e/PilloryAbolitionBill And later on in a different debate The stocks, bread and water, corporal punishment, the pillory, cutting off the ears, branding with a hot iron, slavery, transportation, and hanging had been tried at various periods; and when these cruelties were abandoned, we had been content to employ the milder punishment of the treadmill or the tramp-ward.

Interesting history on Alexander Sokolov, a decorated transgender Russian soldier from 200 years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Aleksandrov

Who said that, because it was not Uncle Joe. Why should we take any notice of some Facebook nobody?

Well Peter Mandelson, aka the Prince of Darkness, is a smooth dog. The President initially hated the idea of him being the UK's Ambassador to the US,given his previous comments. Upon meeting, the President's greeting was Lord Mandelson is known as an uphill gardener and might have thought then he was in with a chance of a threesome with the President.

Yeah, but the Type 00 looks pretty awesome. The ad reminded me of the 1993 Dunlop ad which was also very arty, not much to do with tyres, but 32 years later, is still memorabel Jaguar always faced a problem with a rebrand. There are the pipe smokers, into their walnut dash, leapers and JRG paint jobs, who think Jaguar died in 2011. The XE was a mistake. I'm not sure where this idea that the ad is so-called "Woke". It was criticized because of the lack of a car. Its the morons who keep calling it "Woke". Jaguar did need a reset. They aren't going to compete with BMW, which as a brand, has gone downmarket. Similarly Mercedes. Whats clear with the new brands, mostly but not always, from China, is that they are very strong on design. Most people are genuinely shocked with the apparent quality of BYDs and even MGs, let alone brands like XPeng. The legacy brands first EV offerings were a bit fuddy duddy. The removal of an engine under the bonnet does free up the possibilities for designers. EV was always going to be challenging for car design. The electric motor commoditizes the car. Its pretty easy to put together a 1000hp package. SO the USP has to be somewhere else rather than the question about how many cylinders a car has.

Aleksandre Modebadze ran a cannabis shop. His own family said he had loaned the suspects, fellow Georgians, money, and called a meeting because he wanted it back. They killed him. So this was a legalised drug dealer giving loans to illegal, living on the lam, immigrants. Seems pretty shady. The suspects were found with $60k in cash Manny Hidra was stabbed with a screw driver. Hidra had been dead for 3 days before being discovered during a welfare check. A 27 year old, Erick Escamilla, was arrested at hospital where he was receiving treatment. Escamilla is described as a part time vagrant, living occasionally with his mother, or on the street. He had previously been arrested by the police in February for trespass. There is no suggestion he was an illegal immigrant. The implication is he was committing burgulary and was suprised by the victim, and a struggle ensud. The victom's nationality and religion was never a factor. So coincidence.
