The Heartbreaker remembered in RussiaMichael Jackson was a symbol of success and controversy around the world. The singing legend was once a flamboyant voice from the West for his fans in Russia. |
"One picture is worth a thousand words." The hammer in the photo is not by accident, no, it appears a carefully constructed symbol of power, placed strategically. AND, the intentional demonstration of where it falls, now, in the turning of a new picture frame of our world alright. How grand the chessboard has become, but "the soft and yielding overcome the rigid and hard - few people put this into practice." The old symbol of the USSR? or, a more modern version of the order and what exactly is the motive ... image/s of what may have been painted on the walls of caves, too: clubs to conquer in tribal warfare?
Biloxi, read your history lad, and read the great works from Ayn Rand, Orwell, Ray Bradbury, Huxley, and Soltzenitzen. You will then realize your weak and insecure fantasies for the USSR are terribly wrong and inaccurate. You are a crypto-Stalinist who longs for the days of missile parades, Gulags, thought crimes, and an unflinching fist into the private lives of individuals. China Maoist and Nationalist, for example, were given military training and support against Japanese imperialist by the US; while USSR was a half-hearted bystander. It was American capitalism, under Nixon, which changed the face of China from poverty to prosperity. It was North Korea who attacked the South; as documents from the former Soviet Union prove. Famous Russian novelist Soltzhenitzen said "America did not invent human rights. In a very real sense, it is the other way around. Human rights invented America." Biloxi your rants demonstrate your lack of history or experience of it. Should also validate the neo-nazi's who long for the days of goose-step parades, uniformed masses, militant pride?a
