Poster Comment:When I work for State of Illinois, I had a Foreman that was ex-Marine. He was in battle of Iwo Jima. One day he came into the yard to get some cold patch on his pick up. So the guy came out with loader and a scoop of cold patch. The Foreman was giving him directions but one of the other guys was on the ground telling the guy in loader, "Dump it! Dump it!" So he dumps it. The Foreman got hot. The guy in loader asked, "What's he so hot about?" The guy on the ground said, "You'd be hot too if your bottle just got buried." ROTFLMAO!

The past is not dead; it is people who are sleeping. The current night and daymares that we are having arise out of murders lodged deep in our past that have continued into the present. No amount of feigned amnesia will erase the bloody truth of American history, the cheap grace we bestow upon ourselves. We have, as Harold Pinter said in his Nobel address, been feeding on “a vast tapestry of lies” that surrounds us, lies uttered by nihilistic leaders and their media mouthpieces for a very long time. We have, or should have, bad consciences for not acknowledging being active or silent accomplices in the suppression of truth and the vicious murdering of millions at home and abroad. ...

1. Generic blood pressure pills made by Zhejiang Huahai Pharmaceuticals in China contained NMDA, considered a possible carcinogen. FDA is testing all drugs in that class to see if they contain the toxic chemical. Who holds the Chinese company responsible? 2. The FDA inspects only a small number of the Chinese companies that manufacture U.S. drugs, and those it does inspect are often found to have serious health violations. 3. China has become the primary source of many crucial medical drugs, including penicillin, heparin, and medications essential for surgeries. 4. It’s unclear just how many drugs in the United States come from China, since many drug companies choose to keep their ...

Slavery remains one of the most uncomfortable subjects in the history of the United States of America. Indeed, it can hardly be relegated to being only American “history” as we’ll soon see in greater depth. There are large groups of historical revisionists that have a vested interest in trying to downplay it or reshape it in a way that’s more comfortable for their agendas. There are also some people that have grown up with overly simplistic versions of slavery in the past and its current state. We here at TopTenz will strive do our small part to push back against both.

Here's How We Ended Up with Predatory, Parasitic Elites
Post Date: 2018-08-30 10:00:25 by Ada

Combine financialization, neoliberalism and moral bankruptcy, and you end up with predatory, parasitic elites. How did our financial and political elites become predatory parasites? Some will answer that elites have always been predatory parasites; as tempting as it may be to offer a blanket denunciation of elites, this overlooks the eras in which elites rose to meet existential crises. Following in Ancient Rome’s Footsteps: Moral Decay, Rising Wealth Inequality (September 30, 2015) As historian Peter Turchin explained in his book , the value of sacrifice was a core characteristic of the early Republic’s elite: “Unlike the selfish elites of the later periods, the ...

The Battle of Isandlwana on 22 January 1879 was the first major encounter in the Anglo-Zulu War between the British Empire and the Zulu Kingdom. Eleven days after the British commenced their invasion of Zululand in South Africa, a Zulu force of some 20,000 warriors attacked a portion of the British main column consisting of about 1,800 British, colonial and native troops and perhaps 400 civilians. The Zulus were equipped mainly with the traditional assegai iron spears, iklwa and cow-hide shields, but also had a number of muskets and old rifles though they were not formally trained in their use. Poster Comment:I worked with a black guy who claimed he was the new Zulu King. LOL
