I am ashamed to admit that I was a follower of Survivor for many years. It was a little better than most of the reality shows because the contestants themselves voted each other off, rather than some committee whose ass was constantly being kissed. So it was all backstabbing and plotting. The backstabbing and plotting continued in the later years but now it was accompanied by long speeches of how the experience of Survivor had made them all better people, and I stopped watching it.
I think at first it was supposed to be some rough democracy with all joining together to vote each other off, but two episodes into the first showing alliances showed up, and they have been a mainstay ever since. What Washington warned against was political parties and I think they popped up their heads in a dozen years. It is just the human natural, it is in our genes to talk someone else into, or to be talked into by somebody else, to join together to make a buck or steer the ship of state.
And I'm sure that ever since we were growing onions on the plains of Sumer there has been talk of secret societies pulling the strings behind the scenes. I'm not buying it because there are always more reasonable explanations for what goes on. I know about Bohemian Grove, I've heard of Bilderberg, why not throw in the Trilateral Commission and the Illuminati, and the Rosicrucians too while your at it, toss them all into a cocked hat and walk the razor straight path of logic and reason my sons.
When Woodrow Wilson strode into Versailles his stoopid American idea was that all countries that wanted to be independent should be made so, but it turned out that there were so many separatist movements that he had to shake his head, and while his head was shaking and the other diplomats, who knew what was really going on. shoved him aside and fought over the biggest piece of pie.
We love the Kurds, or used to, because unlike the other guys who were tossing down their weapons and running mostly because they were riven by that Sunni Shia split, the Kurds stood and fought, and won frequently. But you know what? They were not fighting because they loved Uncle Sam, they were fighting because they were building a bigger Kurdistan. And now they want to declare their own country and the US is against it because for some reason we cherish the idea of an intact Iraq. I'm not sure why this is. There is the factor that along with land the Kurds are talking a lot of the oil. I'm sure you've all seen the Treasure of the Sierra Madre (if for no other reason than to turn a phrase on we don't need no stinking badges, which, I know, they never actually said) and you have to think the mideast would have been way better off if there had never been any oil there.
Old Dog, you are nearing seven decades and you are shocked that the US talks out of both sides of its mouth? Don't you remember the red man talking about our forked tongues? Don't you remember the Lesson of Vietnam? This shit happens all the time, get used to it.
Speaking of mountains being made out of molehills the Packers and the Bears and the audience all locked arms last night to support the fight against injustice or maybe it was solidarity or maybe it was the troops, nobody was sure and nobody cared much, because, I don't know, do I dare say that the American people are too smart for this shit? Probably not. Probably it has something to do with the Bilderbergs.
I think I've made this mistake about Beagles being in the NRA before. I guess I remember that you applied but I misrember the part of them rejecting you.
This beating North Vietnam into submission sounds a lot like what Trump talks about for ISIS and N Korea. Sounds tough, but where are the details? What would Beagles have done specifically? Thrown more bombs and lives into the maw that had not worked in the past? Sicced Them on them?
Happy weekend guys.
