  1. SEO!

    Pingback, and linkbacks, and meta oh my!

    😛

  2. was not built in a day is the common saying yet what is not common knowledge yet should be studied is how Rome died.

    Their story, my story and millions of other stories about how America sucks now have been and always will be media managed and socially engineered by those sociopaths who own and profit from said socially engineered perception management schemes.  “We” that meager 310 million or so are as such expendables in comparison to those other eager souls willing to work for 50 cents an hour.

    Kudos to Prof Panarin and Dmitry Orlov for pinpointing the specific/approximate dates even if the majority of sheep know it not yet.
