Tablet | Judenrein Europe From this article: France, with the largest European Jewish population, has been sustained largely by the mass migration from North Africa. But it still has fewer Jews than it did in 1939 Wrong. France has twice the Jewish population that it had in 1939. It is presently th...

Sorry to hear about the grave fire at Shuri Castle :( ... A fire has broken out at Japan's Shuri Castle on the island of Okinawa, local police told CNN on Wednesday. People in the area are being evacuated, said a police spokesperson, though it is unclear how many evacuees there are or how big the fi...

A good exposition of the multiple possible meanings/interpretations of 令和 |Reiwa Thank you, Colonel, very instructive. Wishing you and all of Japan best - if belated - wishes on the occasion of emperor Naruhito's accession to throne. :) https://stat.ameba.jp/user_images/20190501/09/eitapan/4e/26/j/...

Here is the speech by Chinese president Xi Jinping on Jan 3rd 2018 to Army units. Watch it for yourself. yfcsbUMDh_w What is striking is not the fact that China has large armed forces. Given the country's size, that is nothing to be surprised of. What is striking is the apparatus and decorum of powe...

There is a short series of these by a history professor on the run-up to WWI. Not what I was taught in school. Seems reasonably well sourced. Covers Cecil Rhodes, Balfour, Boer War etc. Predictably, it covers a lot of carefully selected things BUT the run-up to war June 28th to August 1st. If the s...

A thoughtful and well-articulated gentleman.

Macaroni has either partnered with the onion or has been taken hostage. HIlarious to watch, he is literally bribing people with a minimum wage increase. Also fun to watch Macaroni appealing to Nationalism. Personally, I've been somewhat fascinated by Macron's hands during this speech. Put flat on t...

Putin where he wants to be in relation to his own people and the West, as the serious, responsible statesman defending an innocent Russia from violation by Western, and particularly US, aggression, recklessness, and corruption. Indeed. The Russian leadership wants the Russian people to believe the ...

Facebook has recognized an erro r: their censorship robots blocked Freedom leading the peopl e, the famed artwork by Delacroix and a potent symbol of a people fighting for political freedom. http://i.f1g.fr/media/figaro/680x382_crop/2018/03/19/XVM58911054-2b47-11e8-9709-eaffb3fc87d1.jpg Too much nud...

I think HP (and all of us) fits into one of 3 categories (or do I fit HP and all of us into one of 3 categories?): 1. average Joe who tries to antagonize people who he considers to be his friends. IMSMO, most human males enjoy doing this form time to time. 2. hard core racist/religionist/nationalis...

I heard two comments from women regarding Oprah Some Americans are strongly opposed to Trump, which they denounce, among other things, as an arrogant billionnaire. My two cents: if they want to have a chance at replacing him in 2020, they better not choose another arrogant billionnaire. Just sayin'...

But the danger lies in it attempting something like Britain’s during the Suez crisis of 1956, when it forgot for a moment that the imperial era had ended – and overreached. It will be extremely difficult for Trump to swallow the humiliation as Anthony Eden (who resigned as British prime minister) d...

Yes.

my state voted to suceed in 1933, the federals just ignored it and nothing happened after that. their is another push for it at the moment as we are far more integrated with asia than the rest of australia so would be less europe/america orientated without them - we would also be far better off eco...

Gentlemen... Ye all gun controllers and gun supporters... If I tell you that you are all very ( :roll: ) predictible... will you feel offended?

Countryside is the part of Catalonia where independentists are most numerous.

How numerous?

Well, consider e.g. Palol de Revardit, little village of 470 souls, where 1,002 people voted on October 1st.

"Yes" garnered 99%.

a) i have no doubt a heavy handed spainish regime will create another basque type situation. b) claiming "contempt" for the spanish is a childish statement in itself I think you do not know very much Catalan independentism. Regarding the Spanish government trying to get the law respected,...

they turned a 50/50 situation into a 90/10 with clumsy authoritarianism - this could have played out like england/scotland, i believe the numbers where similar until the idiots started throwing the police force around. This "referendum" was a charade : - No electoral commission - No censu...
