Photoshop is obvious. Missing its “Part 1” label.
And the photoshopper cropped out which year it was.
They haven’t thought it through very well. Those elites in their ivory towers would be in deep doodoo with out all the faceless, nameless “little people” who make everything work.
A local success, a Christian insurance salesman who became a highly sought motivational speaker, even internationally, the late Charles “Tremendous” Jones told of a dream he had one night, that he’d won a million dollars.
In his dream, the morning after he won the money, none of his lights or appliances worked. No radio or TV worked. All morning after winning the money, nothing anywhere worked. He finally encountered another human, who told him, “Haven’t you heard? Everybody won a million dollars last night! Nobody’s working today!”
He awoke from his dream with a whole new attitude about work. If nobody works, nothing else works. The turdbrain elitists had better think things through. If they eliminate everybody except their fellow eggheads they won’t last long themselves.
That was then.
A couple of years ago, I saw the subway systems at several Chinese cities. I felt a little bit of the same way.
This is now.
The Soviet government sent out prints of “The Grapes of Wrath,” so Russians could see the misery of the Joads, and the failures of Capitalism, etc. Russian audiences went wild when they saw that the Joad family HAD A CAR! Showings of the movie were quickly stopped.
A friend of mine came here (Pennsylvania) from the Soviet Union, sponsored by the Jewish Family Services. Before taking him and his parents to their apartment, they took them to a supermarket. My friend quipped, “is this a museum?”
back in the early 90’s a group of Russian (Georgian actually) came to visit
My recollection is that they went to the mall and walmart and stores and bought stuff. they always remarked about “in my country” how great it was. one came to me and wanted to defect . the state department wouldn’t allow it
it was a pathetic display of allegience that was totally unfounded
The liberal despises individualism and Christianity so much they would rather die or be enslaved than see America succeed. THAT is how much they hate you.
Worked INF-START treaties while stationed at Travis AFB in the 90s. The base opened a new Base Exchange that even impressed those of us stationed there. We took a group of Russian inspectors to go shopping and I watch a guy in his mid-40’s just stand there in shock at first and they you could see he was fuming as he figured out he had been lied to about how bad the US really was. I felt kind of sorry for the guy, but know how he feels as our overlords in Mordor on the Potomac work their magic on what was once a great nation.
I was thinking the same thing. Americans who have never traveled to Asia should go to see Singapore, or Tokyo, or Shanghai...then come back to take a good look at our crumbling, half vacant cities and try to believe the economic lies our government tells us. It's sobering.
Best line of the film: “You don’t have to thank me... you have to pay me.”
I’ve used that in every interview ever since!
I still fondly recall the scene in Crichton’s “State of Fear” where the actor character, drawn I think on Martin Sheen (although Leo DeCaprio might be more apropos today) ends up in a village of state-of-nature primitives, admiring them for their purity, until the chief slices off his cheek and eats it, thus getting the general feast rolling.
Back in the late 70s or early 80s I met a lady who had gotten out of Romania. Her sister visited her and the 1st time they went grocery shopping the sister was piling the cart full, thinking she was lucky to be at the store the day the food arrived. She was told it’s this way every day.
The sister is now a U.S. citizen.
I had a similar experience with a friend whose grandmother was visiting from Yugoslavia back in the early 80s. We took her to the local megamart and when we walked in she literally burst into tears.
She didn’t speak much English so I asked what she was saying.
“Lies...all lies” she kept repeating over and over.
It was eye opening.

How does the phrase go, socialism - you wait for the bread to arrive in stores, capitalism - the bread waits on you...
I laugh every time I see the movie DEEP IMPACT in which the government seizes mines to hide chosen IMPORTANT people because of a coming asteroid strike.
The unchosen can only stand outside the guarded fence and shake the wires.
In the real world those unchosen would have grabbed their personal firearms, and taken the mines for themselves using.
Now I’m going to have to find the DVD and watch it again.
Been on my mind and won’t go away!
Like an itch that won’t stop.
