By A. True Ott, PhD Nearly a decade ago, a dear friend and colleague of mine named Don Harkins authored a wonderfully thought-provoking piece entitled “Slavery and the eight veils. Prior to Harkins’ untimely death, we discussed this “Eight-veils theory” for literally hours together – and in the end, Don asked me to write a piece about this for his newspaper, “The Idaho Observer.” He did this, because I had shared much of my research with Don, and we together came to the conclusion that in reality, there were actually NINE veils placed on the human soul (i.e. intelligence), and that spiritual progression and thus a full knowledge of TRUTH would require the piercing of these Nine Veils. I joked with Don that this topic would take an entire edition of The Idaho Observer, and then it would only scratch the surface. That was one of Don’s editorial talents – taking a complex story and compressing it to a more readable format. In memory of Don Harkins, here is the writing we discussed, in as compressed a format as possible. WHY NINE VEILS INSTEAD OF EIGHT (1 x 8) + 1= 9 (12 x 8) + 2 = 98 (123 x 8) + 3 = 987 (1234 x 8) + 4 = 9876 (12345 x 8) + 5 = 98765 (123456 x 8) + 6 = 987654 (1234567 x 8) + 7 = 9876543 (12345678 x 8) + 8 = 98765432 (123456789 x 8) + 9 = 987654321 Amazing, isn’t it? I find it very interesting, furthermore, that all of the great philosophers in history such as Archimedes, Copernicus, Socrates and DaVinci all were mathematicians first and foremost. I submit that everything from biblical prophecy to DNA strands are built and based on quite simple mathematical formulas and patterns – but I am getting ahead of the story, for understanding the role of mathematics is in itself one of the nine hidden veils. Consider also the so-called “mystery schools” of antiquity. In shadowy temples in Sumer and Babylon – the Kabala showed the way to the ultimate “Holy of Holies” – the re-veil-a-tions (revelation, i.e. the parting of the veils) of life, the creation, of God and when embraced in honor and truth, the very Origins of Man. This involved systematically piercing and embracing 9 levels of understanding or “Truth Plateaus” before finally entering “Nirvana” (or the ultimate unity with God) as depicted in modern “tracing boards”. Like a giant Sudoku Puzzle board, the human experience we call life truly revolves around the numbers 1 – 9 in so many remarkable ways. Everything has a place in the system, and everything fits neatly and precisely in the eternal grid of time and space. This then, is but one definition of Truth – hidden, arcane knowledge that fits completely in the mathematical grid called logic. Yeshua (aka Jesus of Nazareth) declared this to His disciples: “Ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall set you free.” WHY CAN’T PEOPLE SEE THE TRUTH? “Over the last several years I have evolved and discarded several theories in an attempt to explain why it is that most people cannot see truth — even when it smacks them in the face. Those of us who can see “the conspiracy” have participated in countless conversations amongst ourselves that address the frustration of most peoples´ inability to comprehend the extremely well-documented arguments which we use to describe the process of our collective enslavement and exploitation. The most common explanation to be arrived at is that most people just “don´t want to see” what is really going on. Extremely evil men and women who make up the world´s power-elite have cleverly cultivated a virtual pasture so grass green that few people seldom, if ever, bother to look up from where they are grazing long enough to notice the brightly colored tags stapled to their ears. The same people who cannot see their enslavement for the pasture grass have a tendency to view as insane “conspiracy theorists” those of us who can see the past the farm and into the parlor of his feudal lordship´s castle. Finally, I understand why. It´s not that those who don´t see that their freedom is vanishing under the leadership of the power-elite “don´t want to see it” — they simply can´t see what is happening to them because of the unpierced veils that block their view. All human endeavors are a filtration process. Sports are one of the best examples. We play specific sports until we get kicked off the playground. The pro athletes we pay big bucks to watch just never got kicked off the playground. Where millions of kids play little league each spring, they are filtered out until there are about 50 guys who go to the World Series in October. Behind the first veil: There are over 7 billion people on the planet. Most of them live and die without having seriously contemplated anything other than what it takes to keep their lives together. Ninety percent of all humanity will live and die without having pierced the first veil.” Indeed it can be said that less than 1% of the world’s 7 billion humans ever pierce all nine veils, and it would appear that even this small minority is ever-shrinking. In order to keep the “virtual pasture” green, the global elite also successfully bribe many who have pierced multiple veils, in order to misdirect others who may be approaching truth in many areas. I call this simply intellectual prostitution – selling the birthright of Universal Truth for a worthless mess of pottage. The gilded glitz of wealth, fame and social elevation have seduced many a gifted intellectual. With full credit given to Don Harkins, here now are the newly updated “Nine Veils”. The first veil: Ten percent of us will pierce the first veil and find the world of politics. We will vote, become active and develop an opinion. Our opinions will be shaped by the physical world around us; we will have been “conditioned” from our days in public education to accept that government officials, network media personalities and other “experts” are the primary voices of authority. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without having pierced the third veil. The second veil: Ten percent of us will also pierce the second veil to explore the world of history, the relationship between man and government and the meaning of self-government through constitutional and common law. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without having pierced the third veil. The third veil: Ten percent of those who pierce the second veil, will eventually pierce the third veil to conclusively find that the resources of the world, including people, are controlled by extremely wealthy and powerful families whose incorporated old world assets have, with modern extortion strategies, become the foundation upon which the entire world´s economy is currently indebted. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without having pierced the fourth veil. The fourth veil: Ten percent will then pierce the fourth veil to discover the Illuminati, Freemasonry, and the other secret societies. These societies use symbols and perform ceremonies that perpetuate the generational transfers of arcane knowledge that is used to keep the ordinary people in political, economic and spiritual bondage to the oldest bloodlines on earth. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without having pierced the fifth veil. The fifth veil: Ten percent will progress to pierce the fifth veil to learn that the secret societies are so far advanced technologically that time travel and interstellar communications have no boundaries and controlling the very thoughts and even the very actions of people is what their members do as offhandedly as we tell our children when they must go to bed. As in the days of Noah, this technology is even creating synthetic life forms, as man seeks to displace God. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without having pierced the sixth veil. The sixth veil: Ten percent will progress to pierce the sixth veil where we learn the dragons and lizards and aliens we thought were the fictional monsters of childhood literature are real indeed and are in reality the actual controlling forces behind the secret societies uncovered in the fourth veil. Ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without piercing the seventh veil. The seventh veil: Ten Percent will progress to pierce the 7th veil where the incredible world of fractal geometry and the universal law of numbers will be fully understood and embraced. The creative force of the entire universe will be shown to be linked to numerical code formulas and sequences, and all “mysteries” including the very fabric of time, space, parallel universes, and access therein is unlocked. Those whose intellects allow them to pierce the seventh veil often succumb to the lure and promise of massive wealth offered by the ruling elite, and thus over ninety percent of the people in this group will live and die without piercing the eighth veil. The eighth veil: Piercing the eighth veil reveals God and the pure energy known as LOVE that is the pure life force in all living things – which are one and the same. Deep-seated Humility is needed in order to ever pierce this veil. The ninth veil: Piercing the ninth veil means perfecting the pure energy known as love and thereby becoming truly one with God and His/Her formulations. By perfecting this pure energy, one then fully embraces charity and therein gains full understanding of the universal plan of sacrifice, death, and redemption; life itself then becomes complete and one truly comes full circle and looks at the world through the eyes of an innocent child, yet with the deepest wisdom born of pure LOVE from the eighth veil. Consider this: If this theory is correct, there are only about 60,000 people on the planet who have successfully pierced the sixth veil. The irony here is too incredible: Those who are stuck behind veils one through five have little choice but to view the people who have pierced the veils beyond them as dangerously insane. With each veil pierced, exponentially shrinking numbers of increasingly enlightened people are deemed insane by exponentially increasing masses of decreasingly enlightened people. Adding to the irony, the harder a “sixth or better veiler” tries to explain what he is able to see to those who can’t, the more insane he appears to them. This truth is self-evident. Moreover, institutions such as the venerable “Southern Poverty Law Center” are formed and financed by the ruling elite to effectively label many such awakened individuals “hate-mongers” and “terrorists”. OUR ENEMY, THE STATE Third, fourth, fifth and sixth veilers are of increasing liability to the state because of their decreasing ability to be used as tools to consolidate power and wealth of the many into the hands of the power-elite few. It is common also, for these people to sacrifice more of their relationships with friends and family, their professional careers and personal freedom with each veil they pierce. Albert Jay Nock (1870-1945), author of “Our Enemy, the State” (1935), explained what happens to those who find and embrace the final two veils: “What was the best that the state could find to do with an actual Socrates and an actual Jesus when it had them? Merely to poison one and crucify the other, for no reason but that they were too intolerably embarrassing to be allowed to live any longer.” Conclusions The purpose of this essay is threefold: 2. To help people behind the first two veils understand that living, breathing and thinking are just the beginning and; 3. Show people that the greatest adventure of our life is behind the next veil because that is just one less veil between ourselves and God A.K.A. ‘The Highest Vibration” SOURCE with thanks Francisco Valero Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/40556352568/permalink/10152736736912569/ The 9 Veils Placed On Every Human Soul
Any dedicated seeker of truth eventually stumbles upon the incredible symmetry and structure of mathematics, which is especially true in fractal geometry involving the integers 1-9. For a most basic example, just take a look at these nine equations:
This question is best answered by Don Harkins’ wise words written in 2001:
Behind the first two veils we find the great majority of people on the planet. They are tools of the state: Second veilers are the gullible voters whose ignorance justify the actions of politicians who send untold millions of first veilers off to die in foreign lands as cannon fodder — their combined stations in life are simply to believe that the self-serving machinations of the power-elite are matters of national security and are worth dying for.
As Don Harkins has written: “And so now we know that it´s not that our countrymen are so committed to their lives that, “they don´t want to see” the mechanisms of their enslavement and exploitation. They simply “can´t see” it as surely as I cannot see what´s on the other side of a closed curtain.”
1. To help the handful of people in the latter veils to understand why the masses have little choice but to interpret their clarity as insanity;

Actually the Golden Rule is found all over the world stating that a person should treat others as THEY wish to be treated, the focus is on the other and not the self. Only in Western culture is the focus on the self and treating others as we want to be treated....this is the narcissistic perspective.

No problem with the nips holding on to Asian territories. Better than the sick and dawdling Spanish and Dutch empires. Have you heard of the book Imperial Cruise? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Imperial_Cruise First there was an engagement, then came the divorce. The divorce proved fatal, but it wouldn't have been if we hadn't attacked the Japanese on the Chinese front by aiding the British in 1940. What business was it of ours? The Imperial Cruise is a non-fiction book authored by James Bradley, the son of one of the men who raised the American flag on Iwo Jima. In the book, based on extensive research and newly discovered archival materials and photographs, Bradley sheds new light on the history of American political affairs in the Pacific during the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt, and a surrounding a secret diplomatic/Congressional mission to Asia conceived by Roosevelt which would affect United States involvement in Asia for generations. The material also covers a wide array of other cultural factors that loosely relate to this, the largest diplomatic delegation ever sent to Asia in U.S. history.[2] The book asserts that Roosevelt's diplomatic mistakes constituted the original encouragement for the Japanese imperialism that ultimately backfired on the United States and led to the war in the Pacific,[3] and acted as a catalyst in the fomentation of many subsequent events in Asia, including the Chinese Communist Revolution, the Korean War, and even the current state of U.S.-Asia affairs today in the 21st century.[4]
All I would agree with here is that the western world is the only world that thinks people would want to adopt a culture not their own. History has been filled with live and let die. It's natural. Americans do it too, and like others before them, they believe God (or civilization's arc) is on their side. But the silly part is that they think the world wants what they've got.
They want our freedumb.....join me in the obligatory chant: We're #1!! We're #1!! :) Amen " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes. " Randge, Poet de Forum, 1/11/11 "Life's tough, and even tougher if you're stupid." --John Wayne
The world is beginning to understand our slavery to the Jews. They will turn against us because Judaism and Israel are both racially-exclusive systems.
WWII was directly spawned by WWI and its aftermath. We had a choice prior to Woodrow Wilson, all of the most key subversive elements for this nation passed on his watch. Oh, but then he was sorry and regretted it. LOL Crocodile tears for the history books.
I completely agree. It was related to Russophobia, as Schiff financed the Russo-Japanese war to destabilize their growing empire, and the French and British tried to contain the Czar in the Crimea. Of course the blood-sucking Yids weren't fully in charge of the Czar and there were pogroms against them for reasons that are obvious. This goes back to the 1860s at least. It sort of explains why we have anti-Russian sentiment lurking here as if that would protect us from what we have done. For reasons probably unknown to the Russophobes here, the British empire and Anglo-American bankers have long sought to contain Russia. That was what the Russian revolution was all about. Was it a backfire? They don't care. But in 1940 we still had a choice: save Eastern Europe for the Jews, or tease the Japs into attacking us. We chose the latter, and the rest is history. How long must we sing this Holocaust song?
Only in Western culture is the focus on the self and treating others as we want to be treated....this is the narcissistic perspective. I've always thought that it was basically a matter of causing no harm to others, where the best way to state that is to treat others the way you'd like to be treated yourself. This is what wiki has to say... Has it occurred to anybody yet that our Presidential, Congressional, and Military "leaders" keep starting unneccessary wars all over the place because they need to drink blood to prevent their eyes from bugging out of their heads?
It sort of explains why we have anti-Russian sentiment lurking here - Deasy Behold your beloved Soviet Union!
Sovietized due to Anglo-Jewish interests. Just like America. Or are you better than them, JT?
Lies Your History Teacher Sold You History was one of my favorite subjects all through school. I studied US History in New York, Ohio, Michigan, and Kentucky. Looking back 20+ years later, I find the number of times the truth has been conveniently deleted from America's textbooks very odd. DELETED US HISTORY, PART I: America sent 2,000 troops to Russia around 1915 (I can't remember the exact year (I graduated from college 10 years ago...) I believe it was between 1912-1918) to aid the then Russian Czar against a Communist/Bolshevic uprising/revolution. Not only did the Communists win (as everybody knows), they SLAUGHTERED ALL 2,000 AMERICAN TROOPS! Not a single American serviceman returned after being deployed to Russia around 1915! PART II: EVERY American textbook I have read mentions how Jesse Owens embarrassed Hitler in the 1936 Summer Olympics, proving his Master Race 'wrong,' by winning Gold Medals in the first two Olympic (running) events. NOT A SINGLE US TEXTBOOK MENTIONS THE FACT THAT THE GERMANS PLACED 1ST, 2ND, AND 3RD, IN ALMOST EVERY OLYMPIC EVENT AFTER THAT! If you don't believe me, go to Olympia Stadium in Berlin (Which is where they were held.) and read the monument with all the names of winners of medals in the 1936 Summer Olympics, and the countries from which they resided. Additionally, the 1936 Summer Olympics were broadcast on German television 10 years before there was even a single tv in America. PART III: EVERY American textbook mentions the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, dragging America into World War II. Not a single one of them mentions the fact that the US Navy placed a Naval embargo around the island nation of Japan, which is 100% dependent upon foreign oil imports, forbidding any oil into their country. And then Japan attacks Pearl Harbor right afterwards - GEE, WHAT A SURPRIZE! The next thing you know, America attacks Germany, which never did a thing to America, and a quarter million servicemen and women are DEAD and another half million were wounded. Then, oh what a surprize, America and Britian give Palstine to the Jews! What did that have to do with defeating Germany, Italy, and Japan? Or was that the Synods plan all along???
Has America been at War 93% of the Time since 1776?
I have no idea. I've never met "them." But back to the Soviet atrocities. After reading that history, I'm sticking with the Evil Empire monicker.
Your country has been taken over by Jews just like the Russians' country was. So how are you better than them? Besides, our Jews persuaded us to stop Hitler from putting a lid on their tyranny. Shabbos goy-like. Without gullible Americans to back up the Brits and the Soviets, 1919 wouldn't have lasted past 1942 without Lend Lease and a front in Africa. Roosevelt even lied about Katyn Forest to protect his buddies. Imagine a world where the Czar was left in peace to conduct pogroms as he pleased.
John Travolta is missing his upper left incisor. Just sayin'
Something else is missing too.
How did the flotilla of Jap carriers and escorts manage to leave port and strike out for Pearl Harbor? The embargo was at the source of the oil, not the destination. Anglo-American and Dutch interests controlled the supply.
Cool!
I've always thought that it was basically a matter of causing no harm to others, where the best way to state that is to treat others the way you'd like to be treated yourself. The sage has no interest of his own, but takes the interests of the people as his own. Lauzi/Tauism Nothing which breathes, which exists, which lives, or which has essence or potential of life, should be destroyed or ruled over, or subjugated, or harmed, or denied of its essence or potential. Jainism Blessed is he who preferreth his brother before himself. —Bahá'u'lláh That is a few. I agree with causing no harm. The criticism that arises from treating others how we wish to be treated is that not everybody else is alike or shares the same beliefs. For example, I have thicker skin than many others and I prefer straight talk but others may find offense in that. Treating others in a paradigm of a particular belief structure negates the belief structure of the other. Historically religion has given humans carte blanche to ram a particular set of beliefs down the throats of others for "their own good" to "save them" which led to a great deal of blood shed. At some point, the Western tree must concede that not all others wish to be treated like them or to treat others as they deem fit for treatment based solely on the basis that the other doesn't share their beliefs. Perhaps a bit of treating others as they wish to be treated is in order? Also, in a world where love of self has become confused with love of ego, loving others as the self has run amok and misses the inherent truth of loving the divinity in all others. My favorite...Namaste~I salute the divinity in you. : ) " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes.

What many fail to see is that Islam is the last stronghold against usury in this world. Inherent in Islam is a refusal to be a debt slave. Christianity used to share this inherent belief but rolled over a long time ago. How can you have any sort of one world government when more than a billion refuse the gift of "credit" and the debt slavery that goes along with it? Best make the lot of them an "enemy" and bring in the drones....for our freedumb of course. " If you cannot govern yourself, you will be governed by assholes.

Great find, Christine! Have never seen Bollyn in action -- he's pure gold. He's suffered for the cause of truth, too -- jailed or beaten or something. Believe he's among the various outstanding people Willis Carto has hired, exalted and then anathematized. Remarkable that he's speaking here in a church!!?? Wish I knew which one -- it deserves a medal. That foreign fellow who speaks from the audience must have never been to a bar mitzvah if he thinks Israelis are too dignified to dance a jig over 9/11. Bollyn does go a bit far in mocking Judy Wood as others have mocked him. Have seen her lecture twice on it and it's staggering, esp. since she's such a "liberal' -- IMHO, the only thing that actually makes sense of the mechanics of 9/11. She doesn't make statements either, just dramatically leads you through the evidence to the logical conclusion. "Write a paper and get it published in a journal"? She was fired from Clemson for speaking up about this. THANKS.....
Revolta looks like a combination vampire and werewolf getting the feel of a beautiful previously unused neck. Do you think he was uglier before or after he got old?
That picture is disturbing. After all the years playing in Hollywoodland, he's clearly morphing into something very dark and evil.
Are you sure the teeth aren't photoshopped in to look like fangs? They don't look entirely original.
Nope, not sure at all. As a Premium member of the hollywoodland cult, anything is possible.

That is a very powerful statement and it must must MUST be seriously noted. Washington takes situations that are normal or achieving normalcy and hammers them into a mold of polarization -- "either you're with us or with the terrorists" and all that crap. "Civil rights" is another perfect example. Before pointy-headed liberals took a notion that blacks and whites needed saving from themselves, blacks were coming into their own naturally -- black colleges, black business districts in cities, black entertainment et al. Not good enough -- no break- in point for demagogues! So they got the races at war with each other and fanned the flames of hate and resentment against whitey, leading directly to the hellish situation we see today. Causing strife in foreign counties as you describe is a tactic simpler as pie down through history. That the US and UK should stoop that low, much less make it permanent policy, is despicable.
Just incidentally, we were lied to about that affair as with Trayvon, Ferguson et al. Of course I agree with your point that amerika's moral record can be an extremely disheartening one.

Thanks for noting that history in your posting for us. Some adjustments to the data with additional info: Polar Bear Expedition - Wikipedia | Pic: Historical Marker with details | Pic: Monument | Excerpts: The U.S. President Woodrow Wilson sent the Polar Bear Expedition to Russia in response to requests from the governments of Great Britain and France to join the Allied Intervention in North Russia (also known as the North Russia Campaign). Following the Allied Armistice with Germany on November 11, 1918, family members and friends of the ANREF soldiers began writing letters to newspapers and circulating petitions to their representatives in the U.S. Congress asking for the immediate return of the ANREF from North Russia. In turn, the newspapers editorialized for their withdrawal and their Congressmen raised the issue in Washington, D.C. Meanwhile, aware of not only the change in their mission, but also of the Armistice on the Western Front and the fact that the port of Arkhangelsk was now frozen and closed to shipping, the morale of the American soldiers soon plummeted. During their time in North Russia, the American forces suffered more than 210 casualties, including at least 110 deaths from battle, about 30 missing in action, and 70 deaths from disease, 90% of which were caused by the Spanish Flu. [citation needed] A October 1919 report gives the casualties as 553: 109 killed in battle; 35 died of wounds; 81 from disease; 19 from accidents/other causes; [244 dead] 305 wounded and 4 POWS {released} After they returned home, the Polar Bear veterans lobbied their state and Federal governments to obtain funds and the necessary approvals to retrieve the bodies of more than 125 U.S. soldiers who were known to have been left behind in North Russia. Hampered by the lack of diplomatic recognition between the United States and the Soviet Union, it took many years before they finally received permission. An expedition under the auspices of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) was successful in organizing and conducting a recovery mission in the autumn of 1929 that found, identified and brought out the remains of 86 U.S. soldiers. Another dozen remains of ANREF soldiers were shipped by the Soviet Union to the U.S. in 1934, which reduced the number of U.S soldiers still buried in North Russia to about 30. 4um Title: The Polar Bear Expedition: US/Allied Forces ordered into Russian Revolution/Civil War at close of WWI with YouTube Playlist collection of posted videos: Polar Bear Expedition: US/Allies ordered into Russian Rev + other linked videos and info at the topic. Excerpts: Post #5: They would ask their officers for the reason they were fighting Bolshevik soldiers in Russia and would not receive a specific answer other than they must fight to survive and avoid being pushed into the Arctic Ocean [My note: something about that sounds like it has a Zionist accent] by the Bolshevik army. Post #2: [Eventually, some of our Polar Bears] were on the verge of mutiny in Russia because their mission was a mystery to them, other than to be heldover there to be attacked. The U.S. Ambassador to Russia said something to them to the effect that they were there to help the emerging government, which shortly emerged from the Red Bolshevik forces that Post #3: These men were called to brave the cold arctic snows and fight long battles in temperatures of sixty-degrees below zero, under the midnight sun of arctic Russia. ... When WWI ended, these men expected to be immediately called home, like all other regiments around the world. That call, for these men, never came. They were left to fight a savage enemy in Northern Russia eight [or more] long months after WWI had ended. ... They became one of the most highly decorated regiments in all of WWI. Post #5: They remain the only American force to directly engage Russians in war. Post #6: To understand what the United States was fighting for, one must look at the events preceding the war [in Russia]. In 1917, Russia was fighting a total war against Germany. This put all their resources onto the frontlines of the World War, as casualties were great on the Eastern Front. ... [The rise of the Communists] concerned the Allies, as the Bolsheviks would pull Russia out of the War eventually and Germany would then direct their attention on the Western Front, something the Allies couldn't afford. the demand of the Allies, including the United States, that Russia should renew and reinvigorate her [WWI] war effort (bluntly expressed by [the Root Commission] in the formula "no fight, no loans") ... [was] in conflict with the other [supposed] major aim of American policy toward the Provisional Government - namely, that the [Anti-Bolshevik] experiment in constitutional government should proceed sucessfully. the pressure of the Allies to keep Russia in the war [against Germany] proved in the end the very thing the American government wanted least, ... that which Washington and [Ambassdor] Francis feared most, the accession of the Bolsheviks. Post #7: 4um title, The Root Commission Formula: "No fight, No Loans" [WWI to crurrent times] Typo correction: [WWI to current times] - Excerpts: Post #3: Online info on The Root Commission and its "financial policy" Samuel Gompers and the American Federation of Labor ...

He obtained AFL representation on the Root Commission, a council of emissaries whose purpose was to travel to Russia to encourage it [i.e. pressure it financially] to stay in the war. And so, our Polar Bears and the White Russian/Anti-Bolshevik/Anti-Communist Provisional Government that they were trying to help there (until long after WWI was over) were basically undermined by Wilson and his Commie insiders/financiers/etc. Edited formatting. ------- "They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us...they can't get away this time." -- Col.

Actually the Golden Rule is found all over the world stating that a person should treat others as THEY wish to be treated, the focus is on the other and not the self.
The Golden Rule or ethic of reciprocity is a maxim, ethical code or morality that essentially states either of the following:
Could you give me an example of where the rule doesn't include oneself?

Not a single one of them mentions the fact that the US Navy placed a Naval embargo around the island nation of Japan, which is 100% dependent upon foreign oil imports, forbidding any oil into their country. And then Japan attacks Pearl Harbor right afterwards - GEE, WHAT A SURPRIZE!

The world is beginning to understand our slavery to the Jews. They will turn against us because Judaism and Israel are both racially-exclusive systems.

You don't get a lot of replies because you are mean to everyone.

Things weren't always this way. In the 1940s, there were still movie theaters in Dammam, and there was even modest wine production in some upland areas of Saudi. The puritanism we see today was in some measure in abeyance. It was the Brits and the Yanks who supported the most regressive tendencies in this part of the world and we've done a lot overtly and covertly to see that the most conservative forces there dominate all others.

No, I'd hate to be judged as an American by the example of other Americans who drag a guy in chains to his death behind a pickup truck because he is black.

Just incidentally, we were lied to about that affair as with Trayvon, Ferguson et al. Of course I agree with your point that amerika's moral record can be an extremely disheartening one.

DELETED US HISTORY, PART I:
The Polar Bear Expedition (also known as the Northern Russian Expedition, the American North Russia Expeditionary Force - ANREF or the American Expeditionary Force North Russia - AEFNR) was a contingent of about 5,000 [5,500 - Historical Marker ref. linked above] United States Army troops that landed in Arkhangelsk, Russia as part of the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War and fought the Red Army in the surrounding region during the period of September 1918 through July 1919.
Post #4: American doughboys found themselves, early in September of 1918, after a long, slow trip from England through the icy waters of the Arctic Ocean, disembarking at the Russian port of Archangel - and more than half of them no sooner ashore than they were, with astonishment, packed off to "the front" to fight "the Bolos" - which was to say units of the Soviet Red Army.
were were attacking them. Post #2: Pre-WWI stagecraft

Including judging every poster on 4um as a group. We're all individuals here. Contrary to what some have claimed, we don't group think here. Accepting or denying any group is fool hardy.

When you get as many rough miles on your carcass as I have, you will just be a splat in the road. Because you're not handsome and charming as I am.

Unanswered questions: Does (or did) Neo ever get fewer replies than others? Where'd Deasy go? Bunch of nice calm work by JT here. How to get him back? Why do I get so few replies anymore? Or as Neo put it, 'very little "REPLIES"' :-)

Oops, #142 was intended for "All", not just Cyni.
