Hi Snips! Thank you for the ping! I hope you had a good day... and as usual, I would like to thank all of our Veterans.

[snippy_about_it]

Thanks Betsy.

[Valin]

I wonder if he meant waRg?

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Sam have you heard the Freeper joke yet? ( I am not sure who said it first)

Mr. Rather.. Take down this stonewall.

[SAMWolf]

Mr. Rather.. Take down this stonewall.

LOL! Sounds like something a FReeper would come up with.

[A Jovial Cad]

Good evening, snippy. Hope everything's going well out your way. Excellent synopsis of the Cold War, BTW.

[Valin]

I recall reading that ALL The Soviet POWs who were returned to the loving arm of uncle Joe were shot on the assumtion that
1 they didn't fight hard enough and so were traitors to the motherland
2 were contaminated with bourgeoisie attitudes. And so in order to protect the workers paradise they had to be shot.


Reminds me of an old Mifia saying, "It's not personal it just business."

Senators Gore senior and junior were protectors of Armand Hammer, money man for Lenin and Stalin and their downstream until his death in 1990.

Hammer's father Julius "had been one of Lenin's main supporters in the United States. He had helped organize the notorious left-wing faction of the Socialist Party, which became the Communist Party in 1919. When his first child was born in 1898, he named him Armand for the arm-and-hammer symbol of the proletarian revolution." Edward Jay Epstein, Dossier: The Secret History of Armand Hammer, Carroll & Graf, 1996, pp 20-21.

Joseph Farah of World Net Daily suggests Al Gore Jr.'s original middle name was Armand.

At left above, Al Gore Sr., then Armand Hammer. At right, Al Gore Jr.

Arm and Hammer
A lengthy discussion of Hammer and Gore

Al Gore was given his land in Tennessee and his Occidental Petroleum stock by Armand Hammer.

Hence the continuing Al Gore-MoveOn.com-CPUSA menage a trois.

"There is no famine or actual starvation nor is there likely to be."
--New York Times, Nov. 15, 1931, page 1

"Any report of a famine in Russia is today an exaggeration or malignant propaganda."
--New York Times, August 23, 1933

"Enemies and foreign critics can say what they please. Weaklings and despondents at home may groan under the burden, but the youth and strength of the Russian people is essentially at one with the Kremlin's program, believes it worthwhile and supports it, however hard be the sledding."
--New York Times, December 9, 1932, page 6

"You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs."
--New York Times, May 14, 1933, page 18

"There is no actual starvation or deaths from starvation but there is widespread mortality from diseases due to malnutrition."
--New York Times, March 31, 1933, page 13

The above crap was extruded by New York Times Pulitzer-winning Moscow reporter Walter Duranty.

The paper remains more loyal to Communists than to this nation, hence we do not use it even to line the trash.

Just in, John Fifth-Column Kohnhead's Four Points:

"Labor in the USSR Is a Matter of Honor, Courage, and Heroism

(Sign over the gulag camps gates.)"

Reminds me of "Arbeit Macht Frei", over the entrance to Auschwitz. (German for "Work(ing) makes freedom", approximately.)

Wish we had fixed those Soviet problems earlier. Lots of factors had to come together to get it done. President Ronald Reagan did as much as anyone to get the job done, with the exception of His Holiness, John Paul II. And more than a few other brave Poles. Czechs, too. Mostly the Russians lost faith in their false god. Also the Red Army knew that modern weapons would turn their army into instant scrap metal, and demanded results from the Politburo. The Communists couldn't deliver the goods. Heh heh. Reagan's plan, that. Marshall Ogarkov read the Politburo the riot act in '91, as I recall. Modern weapons, or else. Else was loss of Army support. So sad, too bad, the jokes on you!

[Iris7]

Nice story of the Fighting Navy.

GQ for real 221 times in one month. Oof. Even in peacetime you spend months with no more than four hours sleep at one time. The guys skip meals to take a nap. Remember it well.

[Iris7]

Actually almost all were not shot. They were sentenced to fifteen years in Gulag. Then the Communists had a change of heart and increased the sentence to twenty years for all of them. Further consideration decided on twenty five years for each and every one.

There was a big nuclear installation over there, mines, uranium metal, fluorine production, gaseous diffusion, breeder reactors for plutonium, the whole shooting match. One of the "Suvarov" books, likely "Spetznatz", said that 5,000 prisoners a month went into that complex, and not a one ever came out. They handled really hot materials by hand there. Drug the stuff around with hoes and shoveled it into wheelbarrows. Worker's paradise.

[Iris7]

Sorry about repeating your "Arbeit". Good picture.

Hitler was a socialist, a Leftist. Sure didn't like Jews, Poles, Russians, and I honestly think, Germans, either. I think he only liked people after they got to room temperature.

[Aeronaut]

Good morning Snippy.

[E.G.C.]

BTTT!!!!!!

[SAMWolf]

I've read that too. Stalin and the Communists made Hitler look like an amateur when it came to killing "the unenlightened"

[SAMWolf]

Morning Phil Dragoo.

Too many of the Liberals continue to believe in the failed Communist system even today and want to bring the "Communist Paradise" to our country. IMHO, Socialism is just a stepping stone on the path to Communism.

[SAMWolf]

Morning Iris7.

Reminds me of "Arbeit Macht Frei", over the entrance to Auschwitz.

Great minds think alike...

The Soviets were the masters of Orwell's doublespeak, the moderem Democratic Party has the the Communist propaganda methods down pat.
