After the brutal suppression of the London Youths revolution a lot of people had to go underground, my sources among them prominent independent bloggers confirm that people are scared.

he also cheats when he does "the long division" when calculating longevity of new US oil fields. There is no way we can approach the rate of extraction to get all of the billion barrels of oil out of the ground in 56 days. So it's true that at the normal rate of extraction it will last 50 years. His sensational calculation is only true if the US suddenly loses all other suppliers in the world and a new magical extraction tech is developed.
Really? Soviet Union became a leading Oil exporter after enormous oil fields were discovered in Siberia in the 60s. Before that Soviet oil supply came from the Caspian area.
Thanks for reminding of this important fact. The main tank producing company which makes T-90 MBT is still called Uralvagonzavod (the rail car factory) which stands to show how American supplies allowed USSR to refocus on producing war machines.
I still think it's a near miracle that Soviet regime did not collapse in the first six months of war after suffering truly horrific losses in manpower and equipment.
The Soviet counter-attack that pushed Hitler's armies hundreds of kilometers away from Moscow and basically ruined the Barbarossa blitzkrieg plan happened in December '41 long before the bulk of supplies was delivered. The Lend Lease program and American military involvement late in the war when Nazis were already in full retreat on the eastern Front general surely quickened Hitler's demises but did not change the outcome of the War which was clear after the defeat at Stalingrad, followed by the Tehran conference.
I fully agree that he was a genius, a marketing visionary. Very few people have his ability to quickly react to the trends while simultaneously shaping them.
He's been dead for less than a day and the revisionist are already out in full force. Sorry dude but I had a smart phone years before iPhone, jhe did not event the mouse, gui, smart phone, tablet whatever.
I think you overestimate contribution of lend lease to Soviet victory in ww2 a bit. The war was won by the Russians using Russian made weapons for the most part.
When I was studying English as a second language I was taught that Present Perfect should be used to emphasize connection to an event in the recent past. regular Past Simple tense is for stating facts.
I think you missed my point, this information is readily available to anyone in the developed world. Anyone can see US foreign policy for what it is within two clicks.
Pretending that it's still secret and classified and punishing someone for linking to it is not just dishonest it's borderline madness.
And who are we playing God? Their society is not ready for the Western democracy yet, and given how modern western humanist culture is really the the product of pretty unique several thousand years of experience starting with ancient Greeks - this path maybe unique to us and there's is simply different. Sowing alien culture into their tribal societies did not work with Soviet-style secular authoritarian socialism and it does not and will never work with modern western democracy.
Americans like their saying about price of freedom and how freedom is not free but in reality they are just like anyone else. Get a job, work on a career, lose your ideals and drown the meaninglessness of the bourgeoisie life in readily supplied entertainment. On a lighter note, according to official data every other American is overweight and every third is plain obese, they may own a shitload of guns but how do you expect them to wage an asymmetrical guerrilla war against the corrupt government for months, maybe years? I bet at least a half of the freedom fighters will die of heart attack within the first week.
Does not work for my collection of pron. And I'm serious my collection goes back to 1995 and includes things I downloaded of the usenet that are now irreplaceable. I'm using a good raid solution for now, really wish tape were cheaper.
We know that a criminal act requires motive, means and opportunity. These men clearly had a motive - hatred of the Unites States and a desire to harm innocent people. I do not think it's the undercover agents who put these thoughts into the heads.
It was also demonstrated that when given a chance to obtain weapons and explosives they readily acted on it so it's not like they are being prosecuted for "thought crimes".
The question if such radicalized individuals would eventually obtain the needed materials on their own and act on it is largely an intellectual exercise.
Thank you for the link, interesting reading but I disagree with the jurors decision to acquit the one man. I would like to see the rest convicted at the new trial.
More philosophical mambo-jumbo wrapped a nice sound bite. Drop religion/faith from the equation and you lose nothing. Drop science/engineering and you basically go to the stone age.
Let me repeat - religion provides nothing, it does not answer the how questions and it does not answer why questions properly either.

This is the most perverted introduction to the exponential function I've heard and I had some wacky professors.

They take a dump into the bidet. And then use the three sea shells.
I'm looking forward to raping and pillaging all ur plump American womens,

The disappointment that is the "new" iPhone was the last straw.
I will miss him, even though he was my ideological enemy who set computing back 40 years he is still one of the few men who shaped history.

Parallels.
Lack of active digitizer ruined it for me. I'm still on a quest for a reasonably cheap 10'' tablet that can replace a pile of hand written notebooks.
