He is right, a sane country would have done much worse to Muslims within its borders. Sadly America chose to bomb some poor sods in the Middle East who had nothing to do with the sorry affair, all while inviting more non-Europeans into America.
On a bittersweet note, at least America had a culture of anti-racism before the peace was shattered 19 years ago today, may that spirit one day return…

Later in the thread a powerful gem:
Remember those White supremacists dancing as the towers fell?
No. I completely forgot them, because remembering them might cause wrongthink on my part. Better be ignorant, comrade!
tbf there have been mass killings by white right-wingers in recent years (the two synagogue shootings in the US, the El Paso shooting, the Christchurch shooting, the attempted synagogue shooting in Halle), so it’s not completely invented. The real issue of course is the totally different reaction to acts of Islamic terrorism and killings by white right-wingers, the former always leading to warnings against an anti-Muslim backlash, while the latter is used as a pretext for increasing repression of groups like the identitarians and shutting down debate about the great replacement.
Those transmission towers remind me that Russia has had huge power outages all over European Russia this year. Senior officials are gbeing sacked and prosecuted for corruption.
The terrorists were just extreme Keynesians, frustrated by Greenspan’s weak policy response to the Dot Com Bubble and attempting to stimulate the economy by any means necessary
They should target both. Sikhs did the worst terrorist attack in Canadian history
I have also noticed that in the aftermath of Islamic attacks, while there is a frenzy of anger from the Right, the leftists do tend to moderate things by pointing out the underlying reasons for the attack – Western foreign policy in Muslim countries, and this is fair enough (even though a more direct reason for them is the presence of so many foreigners in the West) as there were political reasons for the 9/11 attacks, many of them reasonable and legitimate.
But when we see White nationalist attacks, there is no mirroring of the situation and the mainstream Right collapses and goes on the defensive, they do condemn the attacks but they are always on the back foot as the ideology of racism is attributed to them.
With the Christchurch attack, there was an obscure Australian senator who condemned the attack with the caveat that such conflict is inevitable in a multiracial society, but he was viciously attacked by the mainstream for his reasonable views.

The chutzpah is quite amazing though, they completely deny the central tenets of the Great Replacement as a “conspiracy theory”. The same types who will covertly or overtly support the Palestinian struggle against their displacement will condemn Europeans for doing the same!
The Wikipedia page for the Great Replacement theory actually provides no refutations to the assertion that ethnic Europeans will become a minority in Western European and New World countries, they just refute a strawman argument by saying Muslims won’t become a majority after which they say that second generation immigrants are just as French as anyone else. Then they have citations pointing to two Jews who just call it a conspiracy theory, with one of them saying it is a figment of the imagination by men who lack virility!
Sikhs do not belong in the usa or canada, period, without reference to the terrorist act.
In much of the West, Sikhs seem like multicult enforcers. They are the muscle for the soy boys. They are the thought police that protect Paki rapists, by curtailing speech.
In Canada, Sikhs prominent in politics (that you vote for?) like Jagmeet Singh (signals against caste) and Harjit Sajjan (meets with Jews) are pozzed anti-whites. They should be sent back to be the first wave in the invasion of Pakistan. Or to skirmish on the roof of the world with the Chinese.
I’ve never known a single Sikh who didn’t throw the R-word around. Sikhs should all wear rainbow turbans and carry bottles of soy at all times – it would be more honest.
The problem is the sort of people who (rightly) oppose Muslim mass immigration are generally the sorts who are pro-Zionist and wouldn’t say a bad word about elite Jews in white countries against all evidence and who are largely responsible for causing the problem in the first place.
They also often support mass immigration of non-Muslim immigrants, such as Sikhs, non-Muslim blacks, Kurds, Chinese, etc, who they would label the “good kind of immigrants”. I typically can not stand “counter-Jihad” types for that very reason.
A bunch of k*rds were caught causing a ruckus on a train in Germany, and it was found that some of them didn’t even have proper German residency permits:
https://www.rt.com/news/500457-germany-police-train-kurdish-protesters/
Should also point out most counter-jihad types are anti-Mainland Chinese, yet would gladly allow Hong Kongers and Taiwanese (i.e. Cantonese and Fujianese taught to speak with HK and Taiwanese accents respectively to infiltrate the West).
https://i.redd.it/qh1ays05ys651.jpg
As people are discussing 9-11 here, one can note that there are five major accounts of how the World Trade Centre towers were taken down
It is often thought that several of the ‘alternative’ versions by ‘truthers’ are themselves created by intelligence agencies, to create confusion smoke for whatever is the real truth
(1) Official story – Muslims with planes, jet fuel fire
(2) Israeli ‘art students’ installing explosives during their New-York-Times-documented visit some weeks earlier (my vote)
https://www.winterwatch.net/2018/09/world-trade-centers-infamous-91st-floor-israeli-art-student-project-2/
(3) Mini-nuclear bombs in cellars (Veterans Today is big on this one)
(4) Nano-thermite ultra-high-tech explosives
(5) Directed powerful secret-tech energy ray
There is also a nice discussion as to whether there were really planes at all or whether the famous tape was just a video, with lots of pointing out the planes seem to ‘disappear’ as they hit etc
President of Italy Francesco Cossiga said that in Europe our intelligence agencies all quite know what happened:
https://niburu.co/images/2019/jun/91.jpg
The mouse is correct. Whites just need to become the mouse. ZOG is the rabbit.
The counter-jihad types ultimately skirt around the issue, not of Islam but of having a foreign group with a group consciousness in your country, and this group growing in proportion. This consciousness is the problem as it means these individuals are very susceptible to racial propaganda and they use this to engage in ethnic lobbying, subvert our groups’ interests and add to the schizophrenic nature of the national discourse. Of course Muslims are not unique in this sort of behaviour, but I would say their clannishness is second only to the Jews, however the Jewish Question has become anathema to Europeans nowadays due to decades of sustained propaganda. This group consciousness is very difficult to get rid of, especially when physical differences are there. After all, we’ve had many influxes into the UK, but nobody identifies as “Norman” or “Jute” or “Frisian” these days, they were assimilated, but as the fact the Scots and English are still separate nations can attest to, even genetically similar groups do no assimilate into one all the time. Will Pakistanis and Indians identify as English and English only, with no caveats between skin colour, in 100 years time? Obviously not, that’s why it is bad for us.
The counter-jihad movement rarely offers any real solution apart from banning Muslim immigration, they dare not talk of repatriation. The entire thing is Zionist funded to incite hatred against Islam so that Israeli actions against the Palestinians are more palatable to the public. Tommy Robinson was quite a big player on the counter-jihad scene, but he ended up exposing himself as a fraud when instead of making a documentary on the industrial-scale gang rape of English girls by Muslim gangs, he made a documentary on a French Jew and how Muslims bullied him into making Aliyah to Israel.
On a side note, if you are British, you should check out Patriotic Alternative, a new movement headed by former BNP youth leader Mark Collett, they are the only real ethnic nationalist movement in the UK right now.
Hi Anatoly, I know you don’t care much for Dugin, but I saw an interesting and insightful short essay he published a few days ago, so I would like to see your take on it:
https://www.geopolitica.ru/article/monopoliya-na-istinu-i-otsutstvie-suverennogo-logosa
Btw, I saw it first in the Serbian translation and then traced it to the source.
Looking forward to your analysis.

It’s late in the game, but Trump needs to find a way of getting Bluestans to reopen. The economy is where he polls the strongest.
My fear is that the far-right violence will escalate if Trump is defeated, which will result in a massive Harris-driven crackdown. Some seem to think that this will “accelerate” things, I tend to think that it will alienate center-right people into full cuckoldry.
it might not be ‘invented’ but the irony is that country itself was founded by ‘white supremacists’ (by today’s measure), so it’s no stretch to say this ‘great threat’ to the country are actually ‘freedom fighters’ trying to restore it to it’s original glory and save it from the actual great threat 😉
It’s completely invented.
Jewish Supremacists. That’s a thing, right?
the full cuckoldry ship has already set sail
Cossiga is no space cadet
What you write is true, though curiously the number of victims is still way lower from white nationalists than from 9/11. White nationalists will always have to use more targeted methods, because the majority of the population is still white.
But actually both are very low to be considered a real threat. Demographic replacement is a threat. A world war is a threat. Terrorism is only a threat to individuals (as in, you might get killed by a terrorist), but not to societies (as in, they cannot pose an existential threat). As 9/11 showed, they can cause disruption (stock exchange closed for several days – it’d be more difficult for a white nationalist with more targeted victims), but otherwise it’s more like an excuse for governments to introduce repression rather than a real threat in and of itself.
Probably all widespread alternative theories are spread or at least encouraged by the intelligence services, as all are dumb.
What is indisputable is that 19 Arabs with box cutters hijacked the planes and flew them into the buildings. The one plane crashing in Pennsylvania might’ve been downed by the US Air Force, but again, it might not. The Arabs might’ve been helped or encouraged by the Mossad and/or perhaps some American letter soup agencies, but again, they might not. And even if they weren’t, the role of mass immigration (Arabs with German residency permits?), political correctness (the security guy who had bad thoughts about the Arabs, but then thought he was just prejudiced), and the American support for Israel (the stated reason of the terrorists) and the mindless Middle Eastern wars (another reason) should all be discussed.
The controlled demolition etc. theories create a straw man and force the debate into a dead end, since most people will conclude that because it was indeed airplanes, then there’s no need for any further discussion.

Bit of combined Ukro and DNR triumph, went shopping for glassware and though usually the stuff sold here is made in Russia I found most specimens to be Ukrainian or a few from the separatist regions which is odd since I don’t remember any of them having any glass industry.

Political Islam was helped and abated by the British and American secret services to fight the Soviets, Arab nationalism and the Iranian Shia theocratic revolution. Interestingly enough, Iranian theocratic revolution was partially helped by the French secret services. Germans have closely interacted with Islamist circles of USSR and the British Empire during WWII. After the collapse of USSR German secret services worked along the CIA to help Chechen fighters. Mossad helped create Hamas to weaken the Fatah and the OLP, it also assisted the Afghan mujahedeen in their fight against Soviets (but so did also the Chinese communists).
Basically the entire political Islam phenomenon has Western fingerprints all over its body. Sooner or later the chicken were bound to come back to roost. A pity so many innocent people died though, with probably only 1% of them Being Westerners. The vast majority of the Islamic terrorism and militancy victims were either Muslims of various ethnic groups, Arab Christians, Hindus or former Soviet citizens and Serbs.
Political Islam should never have been used as a geopolitical tool during the Cold War, just like biowarfare should never be used because if its unpredictable consequences. I strongly believe that as the overall intellectual and cultural achievements of the collective Western civilization are declining, political Islam with its simplistic arguments would gain more foothold in the West. So all this story is not finished yet, far from it.
A bit late, but the Independent article is darkly amusing in hindsight.
In an intersection between Al-Qaeda and the international influence of American normiecons, one of Bin Ladin’s nieces has become a complete Ameri-larper.
She is a Swiss resident with Swiss-Persian-Arab ancestry and a master’s degree and has only visited the USA yet she chooses to moon the minutiae of American politics and apparently was an Amerilarper even before September 11.
Granted she is merely a mirror reflection of the bien-pensants in Europe and other foreign nations who will emotionally attach themselves to American ultra-liberal politics and live vicariously through them, so I don’t feel too harsh about her specifically. However, it is a sign that there is something really wrong with our world.

But that is just a part of the story, the links between the Western Deep State and the Islamist Groups goes way deeper into the past. Please see my comment addressed to reiner Tor.
It is a common denominator of the Western/American political strategy in the MENA, Caucasus and Central Asia.

Response to kent, songbird & radical centre.
Reality is: you’re the problem.
Replacement of western whites by more based people is the surest path to a more based world.
Your people are responsible for the Afro-Islamic explosion & were pushing feminism even centuries ago.
Don’t cry when someone uses your rhetoric against you||
It’s a fact that any country can basically call you racist/colonialist any time you do anything, and they should, often.

The answer is number 1, with two components to keep in mind:
Component 1:
The seed of ‘the attack’ came from Saudi intelligence (try to keep a straight face). The deep state of Saudi Arabia is the royal family/house of saud, so it’s safe to say the intelligence apparatus of a royal family is going to be more asshole family members.
As Deckard Cain would say “stay a while and listen”:
One day at Saudi intelligence….
A disgruntled cabal of Saudi dropouts given busywork employment found themselves in charge of a nothing-department with access to foreign money. One day a few of them grumbled they “want to hurt America man” over a perceived slight of defiling the holy land (the irony). Plans formulated and men who live a life of scum and villainy were dispatched to recruit those willing to fight the Great Satan.
In here, somewhere, money changed hands and some unknown group was given a directive to execute this operation. Paper work may have been involved. Osama Bin Laden connects in here somewhere. Perhaps just a financial facilitator. Perhaps a fall guy (initially denying involvement and then hamming it up as mastermind is either vanity or command lag). The official story gives him the title of collaborative grand strategist (pumping up a defeated enemy makes victory that much sweeter). A tale as false as Rumsfeld story of mountain fortresses in Tora Bora with offices, working garages, beauty salons, and power generators:
https://www.edwardjayepstein.com/2002image/netherpopup.gif
Israel caught wind of this “operation” (there are not enough quotation marks in Israel to wrap around the word ‘operation’ so I won’t try). Assessing likely failure for the Saud operation Mossad began to assist discretely. The intifada was heating up and perception in the West was shifting negatively for Israel. As the dancing Israelis would say “we are not your problem. Your problems are our problems. Palestinians are the problem”.
Saudi Intelligence, a contradiction in itself, is not skilled enough to pull this off without raising alarms. Thus, enter Mossad working in the background unbeknownst to this gaggle of Saudi galaxy-brainers. Mossad worked hard to provide cover. It’s timing during a NORAD drill was not accidental, allowing for maximum chance of success. (Google has memory holed the drill, saying it was yet to start and was cancelled when the attacks occurred. False).
But CIA noticed. It noticed Israel too (by summer 2001 Israeli spying on US networks/phone was well known that Fox reported it like it would the weather). CIA knew full well what was brewing (FBI tips) and tagged into this misadventure. For the lens of civilian scrutiny was focusing around the Pentagon. An unaccounted 2.3 trillion dollars. Bad receipt practices. A pre-req to financing clandestine missions, “to steal a dollar you need to spend 10” as Rabbi Mordecai would say. A blind eye was turned to these mohammedans who were telling strippers of their soon diabolical feat and dodging their air instructors when it came to landing lessons.
Two planes, with precision, hit their targets WTC 1 and 2 as if flown by software. Perhaps these Israeli art students recorded the necessary telemetry required to allow the operation to succeed. Rumours of rent and renovations swirl the internet (placing explosives, loosening bolts, cutting at support beams, whatever). Instead of a sloppy mess both pilots, after less than a year of training, accurately steer their heavy cumbersome civilian transport planes right on target. Muslim pilots bro. It’s why the IDF needs to destroy Arab planes on the ground before they take off in the air.
The Pentagon plane:
CIA was busy setting up its own attack on the wing of the Pentagon which housed the ever-threatening financial investigation. This particular attack has a lot of standalone variables which, over time, has been massaged to fit the larger narrative (as I can see by the official Wikipedia page). No matter.
What hit the Pentagon was a plane that was hit by a missile. Conflicting reports from eye witnesses describe both missile and plane. An anti-air missile, fired from a plane or a battery, hit the plane prior to hitting the Pentagon (and not necessarily head on, if anything the missile caught up to the plane as it was descending to hit the Pentagon). Luckily for CIA the entire accounting investigation team digging for the missing 2.3 trillion was wiped out. Go Blue Team.
The White House:
The final plane that was aimed at the White House was shot down. Ridiculous nonsensical propaganda aside it’s probably something the government DOES NOT want to discuss. The US government has a strict policy when it comes to negotiating with terrorists. On the ground in more than one shootout we’ve seen police give no quarter as civilians are struck in ensuing gunfire (that gay Afghani and that molly-popping black guy who was fragged by a police rover stuffed with C4 are prime examples of “give no shits spare no lives” attitudes of counter terrorism in the US). In the air that ruthlessness is just as relevant and doubly so when the White House is threatened. F-16s on CAP for the White House punched out and intercepted the suspected plane.
And so EVERYONES hand was in the cookie jar at the same time. Like homosexuals holding hands. CIA, Mossad, Saudi royals. An unspoken agreement (much like JFK) now falls on this entire thing between all those involved. KSA intelligence for its fuck up (and its money being the primary facilitator). Mossad for doing basically all the hard work. And CIA for taking advantage of the situation to rid a problem and push an agenda.
America (during the Bush era) paraded captured terrorists on TV, with their hairy backs and stained shirts. A sort of message to other Saudi royals that “jihad with daddys money” isn’t going to be swept under the rug with behind-the-scene legal battles so you can keep your dignity at the next Davos meeting. Expect humiliation and degradation in the middle of the night. More aimed at the “lower tribes” of the house of Saud who do the dirty work in intelligence and military (and have enough access to money to do illiterate shit like this).
Component 2:
WTC 1 and 2 were shit holes. Silverstein was bitching about the millions he had to pay to remove the asbestos throughout the building (crying how the city tricked him into the deal). Who knows what other retarded half-assed construction issues were being discovered… There were significant complaints about WTC 1 and 2 by occupants for some time (which Google has buried so deep I was forced to use DuckDuckGo to find em); many were not registered officially or were patched up quietly (out of fear of devaluing the building or…god forbid… raising the insurance cost). Leaky pipes. Cold floors. Stale air. Weak water pressure on the higher floors. Mold. Asbestos. The buildings had shoddy construction. Low quality steel in places. Crumbling concrete. Rusty rebar. Insecure bolts. Entire floors used for patchworks (loss of valuable occupancy space). Years of renovation and changes have turned the building into Frankenstein. There were still components being replaced from the 1993 bombing…. it was a shit building of shit design with shit tenants who turned it into shit. So is it surprising it was knocked down by two airplanes?
WTC 7 official story is it got hit from some shrapnel, caught fire and collapsed. That’s not true. I was watching it live and a fire just broke out. Later it was revealed DoD CIA was the tenant of floor 25 (near centre of the building and start of the fire) and US Secret Service was renting 9 and 10. It probably goes more like this:
Some asshole sitting in WTC 7 looks out her window on the morning of 9/11 and thought the nation was at war. Urban peoples are unaccustomed to such sights and prone to panic (as history has proven, misinterpreting many things) and as per (outdated) standard operating procedures she starts to burn documents like its fucking Berlin 1945. Being a woman with limited understanding the fire got out of hand and spread through the halls. Sprinklers failed due to the nearby WTC 1 and 2 interfering with water pressure. The building collapses due to shoddy craftsmanship and weak shit materials as typical of these structures.
All these things they are finding in the debris that they “can’t explain” is a fancy way of not saying “shitty construction and materials”. Wouldn’t be surprised if they tore down the drywall and found contractors mummified feces from decades ago.
New York City likes to think it’s some high-tech haven but it’s just a shithole constructed with substandard materials using dubious practices. It can’t even operate its subway properly (what few short lines it has….) If real estate over there is riddled with false advertising, I can only imagine how much deception goes on in construction (unionized, mafia-like, nepotistic and corrupt; East or West construction groups never change).
I can safely say Google is fighting hard when I try to confirm some facts. The way Google tells it WTC 1 and 2 were directly shat out from Gods ass with no structural faults or asbestos issues. And this 911facts.dk is like a rational wiki with its over-simplified retarded arguments. It genuinely feels like homosexual committee-think wants to limit my google searches so this is as far as this rant goes.
I’ve noticed that no one seems to associate HIV/AIDS with gays any more. There was a time when it was almost universally regarded as originating from and spread by gays/bisexuals.
I’m not sure whether this is because it has become un-PC to criticise gays and gay behaviour, so people pretend that HIV/AIDS and gays have no link, or whether it’s because people now genuinely perceive it to be a predominantly heterosexual disease.
There was a time when if a man had HIV/AIDS, most people would have assumed he had been having gay sex, that was the main part of the shame factor about it, but these days the shame factor surrounding it seems to be greatly reduced, probably because no one assumes that a man must be gay if he has it.
Karlin’s comment about Russians being the last ethnicity that it’s socially acceptable to use genocidal rhetoric against is simply not true.
That native English are much more frequently portrayed as low IQ, lazy trash deserving of their fate of being replaced. You could be prosecuted for hate speech against Russians in the UK, but you wouldn’t be for hate speech against the native English.
For Jews, the fears are personal, which makes them pretty irrational because of their chameleon-like abilities. How to differentiate Jews? Go to a synagogue (few leftists go – though as we’ve seen, some do) By costume (applies to few leftists). By neighborhood (somewhat the same, though leftists often live among many, not pure). By appearance (quite difficult, generally).
Eventually, you are left with ways ridiculous for a lone gunman: Ask for their license and hope they have a Jewish name. (Would take too much time). Pull their pants down, to see if they are circumcised. (Too much time, wouldn’t even work in America, as many older Americans are weirdly circumcised, probably due to the influence of Jewish doctors)
Jews don’t fear lone gunman. A half-Jew acquaintance of mine said of Charlottesville: these are the people who burned my ancestors. Ridiculous as it is, you can see how it is a group reference. Hollywood has been building white racists, as an organized group, as a hobgoblin at least since the early ’80s. It is racial thinking by whites that they fear, and they’ve done a good job of discouraging it. I’d like to see just one movie, where Jewish characters work racially against whites – if anyone made one, they’d be totally destroyed.

TIL Tora Bora was not a cave complex mountain stronghold built in mid-1980ies using Bin Laden’s imported equipment with the massive assistance and funding from the CIA.
I wonder if Tora Bora receiving a MOAB in 2017 was also an illusion.
Yes good call on Patriotic Alternative, They are going to do good things.
Jihadist conversion is possible in Western Europe because muslims have a presence there and are hence, whether they are liked or not, psychologically acknowledged and thus can serve as a reference point and interpersonal connexion for low class members of society.
In countries where muslims have a minimal presence nihilistic movements are more likely to drawn inspiration from other beliefs and ideas.
An American example being school shooters:
https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/apr/13/who-are-the-new-jihadis
https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2016/01/isis-criminals-converts/426822/
The West (and to some degree Russia too) are undergoing what on a populatuon level is akin to a schizoid depression a person might experience when subjected to extreme debasement.
Any sane person would either do their best to ignore the spirit of the times or find a way out of it. Only psychologically damaged people would enjoy what is going on today in the West (or actually the world over) Some people will rise their arms against it.
The Western converts to Wahhabi Jihadism are looking for bonds of belonging and an ideal to live and die for. They probably see our society as totally corrupt and impossible to heal. We tend to see these people as stupid or deranged, but often they are not stupid at all and their derangement is a direct consequence of the actions undertaken by the globalized elites for at least the previous three generations. The nihilism instilled into the minds of the masses is a weapon of mass destruction, all the politically correct blathering in the world would not replace a simple human need for a meaningful existence and death.
If political Islam (despite its many evident flaws) provides an easier way to achieve an ideal to die for then it will continue spreading like a virus spreads in an organism with a weakened immunity.
Question is: how did we get to this, how did we weaken our social immunity?
Did we pronounce God is dead only to find a Western-born Jihadi pulling a trigger or detonating a bomb and yelling Allahu Akbar in our face?
Also I have beem seeing a pot more Ukrainiam semi luxury goods as of late like Roshen confections. This will likely stop with recent Ukrainian joining of the EU sanction system upon Belarus
Roshen products can be hardly considered luxury or even semi-luxury goods. I remember how exquisitely tasty Kievsky cake was in the old days. Out of greed Roshen replaced cashews with peanuts and butter with palm oil. Now this cake is crappy, a shame on the trademark.
It’s bad either way. If they assimilate, then they are changing the unique ethnic character of the English people. With mass immigration you will eventually end up with a situation where the English will get diluted to the point of changing beyond recognition, both genetically and culturally.
After Edward Colston’s statue was toppled in Bristol earlier this year, some “artist” decided to install this nasty piece of work whose intentions are quite clearly to mock, belittle and deracinate English people.

The message is interesting, nothing the English hold sacred is actually theirs, it’s all foreign and what little they have is just exemplified in the caricature of the fat, balding English man who is bigoted and says things like “England for the English”.
This “nation of immigrants” nonsense has started to seep it’s way into the UK, we are told that there is no such thing as a native Brit, interestingly this rhetoric does remind me of the Zionist anti-Palestinian rhetoric used to justify Jewish settlements in the Occupied Territories (or at least act as a moral lubricant for the obvious rape of Palestine) as this Irish Times article shows.
The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine: ‘no such thing as a Palestinian’
The same is happening to the British more or less, rather ironic the lefties who protest for Palestine don’t see this, I’ve always maintained that the Israel-Palestine struggle is a form of extended ethno-masochism as many leftists view Israel as a “European” settler state rather than just a settler state. These people are truly demons! What is happening in the UK quite clearly fits the UN definition of ethnocide:
I’ve made bold the stipulations for ethnocide that are clearly happening, stipulation b) and c) are also quite possibly happening, but it might be melodramatic to say they are at this current point.
I agree, and this angle is valid even if the 9/11 attackers had no contact to any of the western (including Israeli) intelligence agencies while planning and conducting their attacks. Because surely Bin Laden was nurtured and trained by them in the 1980s, and they helped him achieve fame and gather a following in these circles.
The controlled demolition truther crowd hijacks this discussion into a retarded argument about whether the planes were holograms or there was a miniature nuclear bomb inside the WTC building (I’ve seen this very big brained idea).
I think the biggest barrier between the ethnic groups is the fact that racial sexual preferences exist, this is what makes assimilation and integration impossible between two racially different groups unless there is some wide scale rape and genocide as was the case in South America. This is why the group’s will remain separate like oil and water, turning out country into the new Yugoslavia.
And of course “St George was Turkish”, lol.

Excited to discover where the quest for more and more novel ethnicities to open restaurants will take us. Mauritanian restaurants? Bhutanese restaurants? Pygmy restaurants?
I don’t understand how racial sexual preferences prevent semi-peaceful admixture, could you elaborate?
I hear Polish is picking up steam these days.
Assuming ethnocentrism is inherited, I could see the less ethnocentric Whites and nonwhites mixing to form a new ethnic group, but it seems the more ethnocentric Whites and nonwhites will refuse to mix, hence there will be no real ethnogenesis, at best we are looking at an Indian caste system (which isn’t just Indian, even in Latin and Central America, the top cats seems to have higher European ancestry).
Even if the ethnic proportions were to somehow remain static, I don’t see a great mixing occuring due to sexual preferences of people based on race, Whites seem to prefer their own.
Saint George was Greek. The Turks didn’t show up until hundreds of years later. The artist was either stupid, or lazy, or trying particularly hard to be offensive, or some combination of the preceding.
Do we have any kremlin critics here? What are the TOP 5 kremlins? What are the worst? Extra points for lesser known kremlins. Can include any 14th to 16th century east slavic fortresses, not just those in the RF. Should Polish ones be included?
The worst thing about this is the classic middle brow error of conflating Anatolia and East Rome with the post-medieval Anatolian Turkish culture.
When I looked up where St. George was from, it says Nikomedia. Sadly even Wikipedia can’t get it right.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicomedia
Is this boorishness? or is it AntiRoman/AntiChristian bias? When we speak of Roman or Brythonic Britian, we don’t reference “England” unless prefaced with “modern day”.
Also unrelatedly, there needs to be a Karlin/Unz/Isteve forum.These threads are hard to read. If nothing else, follow up comments should appear in an expandable menu below the initial comment.
Any candy beyond mass produced soy and sugar lump shit from nestle is frankly a luxury of sorts. Roshen isn’t the pinnacle of confection and I much prefer the Belarusian Spartak (and not for patriotic reasons) but nevertheless Roshen remains an excellent brand, saying otherwise seems to me to be a spiteful signal of oncoming hoholsrach.
“The controlled demolition truther crowd hijacks this discussion into a retarded argument about whether the planes were holograms or there was a miniature nuclear bomb inside the WTC building”. – This is all true but what about the evidence concerning WTC7. You can’t pretend that extensive finite element analysis by Prof. J. Leroy Hulsey team does not exist:
Once you accept that WTC7 was controlled demolished then you are open to the hypothesis that controlled demolition was also used in WTC 1 and 2. And then in the next step you may begin to wonder what was the role of the planes? Where the planes just props in the great show? And in the next step you may wonder that the planes did not exist and were only a part of video feed (not holograms) because the demolition experts would not want some planes messing up the network of precisely located charges.
Obviously I do not know the whole scenario but I strongly believe that WTC7 went down because of controlled demolition. I can’t deny it and then I am in much less comfortable position than you who denies it using the ad absurdum straw man of holograms.

Okay, I understand your meaning now even if I am not completely sure I agree with the thesis.
Some thoughts:
1) I think the dynamics of interbreeding will change as the native population of Britain declines, with the salient sub-groups being age- and regional ethno-racial composition.
2) The temptation to utilise racial prestige in exchange for a mate of a different ethnicity with higher wealth, beauty or youth, etc will affect ethnic breeding patterns under a pro-miscegenation régime.
3) The extent to which ethnocentrism is lowered by mixed ancestry (ex. willingness to marry a quarter racial foreigner would presumably be higher than the willingness to marry a full racial foreigner given the higher phenotypic resemblance).
4) It may be hard to predict how “social-racial” and ethnic identities (as opposed to genotypic and phenotypic realities) develop in the future, which is important given the significant effect they have on interbreeding.
I looked at sections of the 2011 UK census in search for pertinent ethnographic information.
While I haven’t looked at American racial intermarriage statistics lately it is my impression that American products of a white-black relationship tend to socially revert to a one-drop rule.
In this regard it is interesting to see how métis in the UK favour white relationships while I have some speculations I don’t know why exactly why it is so.
While it is not a perfect racial measurement (it doesn’t and reasonably can’t include liaisons sans lendemain) that it counts cohabitating couples as well as married ones mitigates the issue to the point where I believe it may be treated as a reasonable proxy.

Sorry, but I have no choice. The evidence that a controlled demolition brought down WTC7 is very strong. There was no enough time between 9am when the attacks occurred on WTC1 and WTC2 and when WTC7 went down in the afternoon to wire the explosives, so the WTC7 must have been wired prior to the attacks. This is enough to question everything in the official version of the 9/11.

There is Russian joke about it, politically incorrect, like most Russian jokes.
A married couple tried to conceive a child for many years without success. They’ve heard that there is an Indian guru who helped a lot of people with this problem. They found that guru and told him their story. Guru looked at them and said:

I agree, right now it seems to be set up in a similar manner to the 4chan boards, but a Reddit/Twitter style forum would make things easier to read, especially on longer threads. The lack of upvoting/likes would also add to the experience and it should be done in a way so that the comments and replies are ordered oldest to newest.
On a side note, it is possible to click “THIS THREAD” as it currently stands, but I cannot seem to figure out how the “tree” structure of the comments is ordered when one clicks this, it is depth-first tree traversal or breadth-first? It seems completely random at the moment.
Since their camp on Lesbos burnt down, and the German government agreed to take the migrants in, I’m wondering if it would somehow be possible to use Nordstream to send the “refugees” to Siberia. (Does it work in both directions?) Not permanently, of course, and not without recompense to Russians, but just until things cooled down a bit in their home countries.
Didn’t those people at Dyatlov Pass have trouble starting a fire or something? Maybe, for safety’s sake, we could build a branch tube going there.
So far they’ve only agreed to take in a few hundred “unaccompanied minors”, but it certainly won’t stay at that, strong campaign by media and politicians to take in more; lefties are spamming twitter with the moronic slogan “Wir haben Platz” (we’ve got space).
Interesting though that Austria’s Kurz is advocating a hard line.
Belarus is quite strong in confectionary. I go with Kommunarka because they make the Alenka and Chernamorka sweets.
Michael Woodley once said that he knew a guy that had data about the fertility of miscegenated couples. I’m kind of foggy on the details, but I think he might have referenced the NYC metro area, and I think it was hospital data. Supposedly, it is effectively a population sink – they have below replacement fertility. Lower, I believe, than whites. Though take that with a grain of salt. He said it was never published due to political considerations, but that he saw it.
It seems hard to fit it into an historical context. There are certainly a lot of mestizos of different racial combinations, but, then again, fertility patterns have changed. I’m not sure I believe it, but I think it is at least possible. Certainly, many high status blacks have high levels of education.
Each one has at least 5,000 relatives. So, with future family reunification (and it can reunify exclusively in Germany, not in the old country, mind you), Mutti is successfully ruining Germany.
The YouTuber Daughter of Albion posted a video about the ethnocide of the white British a day or two ago as well.
One problem with this is going to be that there are too many lines of evidence for it (add another with the mainstreaming of Critical Race Theory and the Post Colonial ‘Decolonisation’ perspective into British institiutions), and that it could be raised in discussions under the heading of demographic inequalities or something like that.
It means soon there may be an effort to censor talk about it.
Re: the Conquistadors: I think it was probably more polygamy (unofficial) than rape. The Spanish initially paired with high-status Indians. Their children, no doubt had higher status than Indians, likely as well as survival advantages due to their immune genes and lactase persistence. And the Spanish controlled the land and educated their children. No doubt, their coloration differences were sought after, to a certain extent.
Even today, I’d suppose that practically any white man, whatever his condition, could get a fertile Latino bride. Though, if he were ugly and low status, he might have to settle for a disgusting one.
Thank you.
I can manage to understand written Russian when I pay more attention; occasionally I need to check some words that are very different from Serbian, but I don’t have issues with sentence structure and grammatical cases.
Yeah, Dugin is definitely an interesting character. I’ve read his other essays (no books), and I noticed that often his explanations of the events in the West are wrong. No surprise, I don’t think he’s lived in the West, and he seems to assume too much without having the deep understanding of how things work here.
However the essay I linked was about Russia, which I’m sure Dugin knows well, so his observation about intellectual sovereignty seemed prescient. But since I don’t know Russia well enough to have an opinion, I’d like to know what someone from Russia thinks about it, i.e. true or not.
Spanish have one of the lowest lactose tolerance among Europeans, so it would be hard to pass it to their cholo offspring. That suggests that their ancestors were far from Indo-Europeans, but Romans forced an IE language on them. IE people are generally assumed to have high levels of lactose tolerance.
Where does one find ‘high-status Indians‘? Were they the ones killing and eating the lower status Indians? (Or are you possibly alluding to Kamala’s brahmin ancestry?)

Interestingly, the Basque language looks very non-IE. It looks very out of place amongst European languages, even more so than other non-IE languages like Finnish and Hungarian. Many linguists have speculated that it’s origins are non-European.
Do you think it’s likely that the Basque language is the last surviving remnant of what ever language the pre-Roman/pre-IE Spanish spoke?
Almost certainly, languages related to Basque (Vasconic family) were still spoken until late Antiquity. The other pre-IE (Uralic speakers also came from elsewhere, and aren’t pre IE) languages of Europe remain entirely (Minoan, Tartessian, Rhaetian, Lemnian, Etruscan) entirely undeciphered, so their relationship to Basque/Euskara is unknown.
The Roman Emperor Claudius actually wrote a Latin-Etruscan dictionary prior to taking the purple, but unfortunately it has been entirely lost. Previously it was conjectured that Etruscan was related to Hittite (Arnold Toynbee was probably it’s the best known proponent), but that’s since been totally disproved, whether it was first proved false because Hittite was later found to be (basal) IE or more was found about Etruscan, I don’t recall.
We have briefly discussed Dugin in the previous Open Thread (117) starting with the comment # 118. The whole discussion started with commenter 216 writing about Twitter deplatforming Dugin, but very soon steered towards discussing Dugin’s intellectual legacy after I have posted the video of the debate between Dugin and Bernard Henry Lévy.
Poster Dimitri pointed out that BHL and Dugin are both frauds on a purely academic level. And I concur that it is true. I think Dugin is nevertheless more entertaining than BHL because some of his ideas or positions are good trolling directed against the Western liberal globalized political doctrines.
I have become interested in Dugin in 1996, when I first read the National Bolshevik newspaper Limonka that Dugin co-founded with Limonov. I was still living in Moscow then and was absolutely disgusted with the whole political situation there. I was basically a very angry young man at the time so the acerbic tone of the newspaper seemed appealing. But there was something fishy about it, it was too strong on provocation and kind of weak when intellectual efforts needed being invested into finding real solutions to the 1990ies Russian predicament.
By the end of that year we left Russia and settled in the West. I went on studying in a Western University and when I had some free time I often visited its library spaces devoted during the Cold War to Eastern European/Slavic/Soviet studies. The university had an excellent collection of literary works and given the (inglorious) end of the Cold War and the Russian debacle, these places were among the most peaceful and quiet on the campus. While looking at the different authors I discovered that Limonov, whom I didn’t know much about in Russia (except the legend that when young he was able to drink a whole bottle of cognac without taking pause) was in fact a bisexual agent provocateur not very different from the Western Punk rockers.
Then on the internet (a new thing for me at the time) I found that Dugin formed the Eurasian movement and split from the National Bolshevik movement, I have also found that the National Bolshevik youth were used in all kinds of provocations and were imprisoned in droves without any notable political results. Dugin’s Eurasianists were less extreme, but quite provocative nevertheless. They seemed as benefiting from some support on the level of Russian high-ranking policy makers and probably on the level of the FSB. Clearly, attempts have been made in the first decade of the 2000ies to use Eurasian Union to infiltrate and control Russian Nationalist circles, but the success of these politology experiments were very modest.
Dugin wrote books, working as professor in the Moscow University for a time, his pupils and disciples were drifting among the intellectual boheme and political fringe movements, with some going towards more respected and well-paid positions. Nothing quite serious came out of the whole Eurasian movement at the end. Same can be said of the Limonov’s National Bolshevism experience.
I suspect that both Dugin and Limonov have been used by the Russian state to channel political protests of the 90ies into two harmless and impotent directions. While Putin and his Ozero Cooperative buddies were making billions and consolidating their power, young people deceived by Limonov and Dugin were dreaming of all kinds of illusory things and falling into social traps and dead ends. I don’t know if Dugin and Limonov were aware of their spoiler role, but I suspect that they knew what was going on and expected to take advantage of this situation.
In the end, Limonov died, while Dugin is being mocked and ignored in Russia proper, but is somehow seen as something notable outside Russia, in the West mainly. I think that here too Dugin just plays a role as a “crazy bearded Russian”, just like BHL plays the role of the “Parisian white collar Sephardic poseur “.
Our world is a theater and there is enough place on the scene for many clowns. As tragic as it is for some, the show must go on.
I’m sure Indo-Europeans conquered Spain, just as they conquered Italy, and countless other places. The signature is definitely there in the ancient DNA. Southern Europe had a higher population density at the time, but Indo-Europeans formed the elites. Maybe, there were were some areas that spoke a different language, just as Etruscans or Basques did, but they almost certainly would have all been conquered and had some admixture at the elite level.
Is higher pop density the the reason Southern Europeans are less lactase persistent? Possibly, but it is hard to be certain. At Tollense (c1200-1300 BC), in modern-day Northern Germany only 1 in 8 where lactase persistent. It was a gene that was strongly selected for over hundreds of years.
It is hard to find reliable maps for lactase persistence, but it is likely the Amerinds had zero variants, before the Spanish came. There is a lot of livestock raised in Latin America, so, in pre-modern times, having the allele would have likely been advantageous in many areas. One figure I read is 48% intolerant in Mexico – pretty big difference from 100%.
There’s a difference between Bell Beaker folks and Indo-European people. Basque people are directly descended from the Bell Beaker culture ethnic group.
Limonov hit the bottom (fair warning the quotes are very vulgar):
https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/a/edward-limonov/its-me-eddie/
Any thoughts on the report that a German NGO helped start the blaze, and they are using them as drug runners? Call me gullible, but I tend to believe at least the first part.
Basques are linguistic isolates. They are not genetic isolates – that is an outdated myth. (It was once thought the Irish were similar) Oh, they are an ethnic group, but there are a lot of different ethnic groups descended from Indo-Europeans.
What really makes them different is their language. Their homeland is isolated by terrain. There may have been a sex imbalance which allowed the women to propagate their old language to their children. They certainly don’t have a high genetic distance to their closest neighbors. And their Y-chromosomes are not markedly different.
I have read that Sardinians are the most purely descended from the pre-Indo-European inhabitants
Yes.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_of_Moctezuma_de_Tultengo
Duke of Moctezuma de Tultengo (Spanish: Duque de Moctezuma de Tultengo) is a hereditary title of Spanish nobility held by a line of descendants of Emperor Moctezuma II, the ninth Tlatoani, or ruler, of Tenochtitlan.
Spaniards respected the status of nobility and when it was possible integrated Aztec and Inca nobles. Overall, contrary to Anglo propaganda, Spaniards were relatively humane rulers, ridding the world of evil Aztec religion and civilizing and improving the plight of the Indians whom they had conquered.
I am absolutely aware of this. On their male side Basque people are the purest R1b haplogroup Bell Beaker descendants. Fact is we have no idea whatsoever what was the language spoken by the Bell Beaker folks. We also do not know exactly what was the migration route that brought the Yamnaya descended populations that have formed the Bell Beaker cultural expansion starting from the Iberian peninsula.
OTOH, we know who were the Indo-Iranian Arians, what was their Y haplogroup and what language they spoke.
The whole “refugee” rigmarole is fraud. Real refugees are mostly women, children, and the elderly (like the refugees fleeing from Donbass to Russia in 2014). When 90% are conscription-age healthy males, you know that these people are not refugees, but an invasion army. So, fraud regarding the age is a natural part of the overall fraud.
As globohomo propaganda studiously refused to notice simple facts about those “refugees”, their invasion was manufactured by globohomo. Hence, there cannot be anything good in it, it must have an ulterior purpose.
It is hard to find reliable maps for lactase persistence
Here’s one for modern lactose-intolerance:
https://i0.wp.com/www.armenpogharian.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/map-of-Global-Lactose-Intolerance.png?w=754
How can this be? — 12% Niger — 91% Nigeria
There were 3 different lactase-persistent mutations in sub-Saharan Africa. For Niger, the Tuareg (more than 2 million in Niger) have 90% lactose tolerance and presumably other Nigériens acquired it from them (or perhaps the cited figure only relates to Tuareg).

For Alaska the only explanation I can think of is that it refers to “indigenous” peoples.
If voters are so gullible and naïve, why adhere to the belief in democracy?
If masses cannot make sensible decisions then there is little reason for governments to grant the populace political rights.
Correct, the crucial fact is that Basques are surrounded by people genetically very much like them. That suggests the region – Spain, southern France – is genetically mostly non-Indo-European. Basques are only partially isolated by terrain – it’s open towards west and north. There are other areas in Europe more isolated with IE languages.
IE original core group has been well established as having lactose tolerance. You don’t lose lactose tolerance once you have it. Spain has lower lactose tolerance than most IE identified regions – ipso-facto it has lower IE genetics. The theory that IE males mated (I am being polite) with native Basque women is true – but the IE component over centuries had to be low for the Basque language to persist. Just like Sardinians, Basques are descended from the pre-IE population – and so is majority of Spaniards and a substantial part of Western Europe. IE is very much an Eastern European population, that reality rubs the latter-day Hitlerites wrong way, so they make up stuff.
The same applies to body hair: ancient IE were hairy, they actually worshipped hair in a bizarre way. If you see hairless populations they are probably not descended from the original IE – since you cannot ‘unhair‘ genetically once you have it. That also totally disproves the politicised ‘out-of-Africa‘ claim. The original primate ancestors of humans were hairy. But Africans living on savannah lost their hair and blacks today have no body hair and sweat profusely. The hairy Caucasian population had to descend directly from their hairy ancestors in cold climate – there was no ‘out-of-Africa’.
Well you need to make the population feel like they matter in the political process to pacify them and prevent open rebellion but otherwise yeah, democracy is politically impossible and not desirable for logistical reasons.
Democracy is simply a cover for the ruling oligarchy, our laws are written by lobbyists in their employ and passed by Congressional representatives whose reelection budgets are set by the same people.
Congressional approval ratings are somewhere in the teens yet reelection rates for incumbents are 90%. Its a pretty well oiled machine.
But alternatives are impossible. Lets take example from the left – Green New Deal. Lets say it will come up as an actual bill. It will be a document at least 10,000 pages long written in dense legalese that Average Joe Voter will not even bother to read nevermind try to comprehend. Same with all the other laws that rule Average Joe Voter’s life.
Even our elected representatives will likely not bother reading this stuff. Only the lobbyists truly know and comprehend the laws that rule us as they are the ones writing them. As such, democracy is not a meaningful concept aside from describing a rule of the oligarchy via their employed representatives.
It always takes two for a ‘fraud‘, or a lie, to exist. Without the domestic side – career bureaucrats, paid for media and academia, and the liberal morons – it would not be possible. The ulterior purpose may vary group by group, but in general the goal is to change the demographic and lower national consciousness in order to be able to manage people better.
95% of species that have existed have died out, they disappeared. Very few because of climate change or asteroids – almost all species that died out perished because of parasites. We are directed to worry about a relatively minor corona parasite, while many Western societies are enthusiastically importing parasitic forms of social and economic life. That’s what happens when too many start believing their own myths and slogans.
Dig enough and Alenka was Cadbury Schweppes until CS was bought by Mondelez. In the UK, Mondelez have reformulated (destroyed) the chocolate recipe. Have you noticed with Alenka yet?
Disagree, refugees are mostly young men fleeing conscription into causes they do not support.
Also you are very wrong about the Donbass. In fact I first understood the conscription issue because of Donbass refugrees. The great majority (two thirds) of Donbass refugees arriving in Saratov for example were young men avoiding conscription. The numbers were announced in the press. I saw this with my own eyes at the station as well. (I lived near there). My translator at the time, a young woman, found their attentions irksome. Twice I engaged in conversation with would be boyfriend refugees suggesting to her that she might have room in her flat. The women and children were given state support. The young men were offered accomodation and very modest pay harvesting (it was August) in the deep country side if they wanted support. They quickly drifted away or into the black economy. People fleeing their homes to escape a battle tend to become Internally Displaced. The young men, by definition, have to leave the country to escape conscription.
IIRC, Quipse Sisa was the product of a brother and sister union, which I think is really quite interesting in an HBD sense.
Partly, because it seems to have been a common custom among the rulers in some ancient societies, where there were god-kings like Egypt, and because the myths of many countries suggest god-kings. Just this past June, there was a finding that a skeleton discovered in Newgrange, Ireland (c3000 BC) had some incestuous origin. I think it opens up philosophical questions about who really governed, in these incestuous societies.
I believe Greg Cochran has said that he doesn’t believe that repeated incest is even biologically possible in a dynasty like the Ptolemies – I believe inferring that they would cease giving birth to live children. That they must have been outbreeding in secret. I mean, it is certainly hard to take descriptions of Cleopatra at face value, if she was extremely inbred. Charles II of Spain was supposedly more inbred than if his parents had been siblings, though his sister was said to be attractive.
Anyway, to bring it back to Quipse Sisa, it seems surprising that she didn’t quickly die from diseases that the Spanish brought, given her double dose of genetic errors. Perhaps, that is an indication of a severe burn-through, before she was born.
I’ve seen a lot of variance in reported numbers – one can find markedly different maps. I think part of it might be that people are confused about what “lactose intolerance” means. Some people think that they are “tolerant” if they can consume a very small amount.
I guess ideally you’d want a heat map for known alleles, but these seem to be very interpolated. I don’t know if anyone has spent the money for proper sampling.
That’s not what many witnesses saw at the border crossing points between Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics and Russia in 2014. Men of all ages were in the minority. I guess by the time they arrived as far as Saratov there occurred natural selection: real refugees settled at the first opportunity, whereas draft dodgers ran as far as they could.
Yes, they’re called Jews.
Not interested if they can’t even spell Danzig right 😉
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquatic_ape_hypothesis
I don’t pretend to understand or even take much interest in Haplogroup autism (which frankly seems to be a great source of opinion for people unqualified to understand it) but obviously, conquest or even dominance is not a requirement for language-shift, thus language =/= ethnicity, in fact it rarely does. For instance, Sardinians are considered among the most genetically ‘distinct’ European populations with very little ‘admixture’, yet speak an IE language. Hungarians are almost entirely IE in their genetics and almost no commonality with their ‘fellow Uralic’ Estonians or Finns whatsoever.
The Assyrians, Babylonians and Judaeans all adopted Aramaic en-masse as their common language by 6th Century BC, despite this Syrian city-states being near the bottom of the heap for centuries, the same of course being true of Slavic.
Anyway, Spain was a mixture of pre-IE peoples, Celto-Iberians, Phoenician and Latin settlers. The obvious answer for lactose intolerance is simply extensive Semitic settling of the peninsula over the ages (Berber, Phoenician, Arab).

What? Speak louder, I can’t understand what you are saying through your high-tech muzzle.
Dugin is an entertaining (to some) Warhammer 40k cosplayer. Nothing wrong with that, but it shouldn’t be mistaken for IRL influence.
His “profile” is arguably higher in the West than it is in Russia.
The Belarusian Alenka is made by Kommunarka, I thought this was state owned still and when I checked it is. I haven’t been in Belarus for about 18 months but when I was last there Belarusian Alenka had acquired a kind of younger brother which had a lighter flavour.
I think it must be the Russian Alenka (or the Ukrainian one if there is one?) that has changed hands. I haven’t had a chance to try it yet. What do Mondelez make in the UK? is it Cadbury? I remember they changed the egg recipe and it got too sweet.
I’m watching Соловьев’s discussion show and Zhirinovskii is wearing white gloves, like an antique dealer. Can someone please explain why? Thank you.
Thank you for a detailed explanation; exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind. People seem to take him seriously, even in Serbia from what I can tell by following Serbian alternative media. I guess they should know better…
It is unlikely that Basque was related to those languages. Iberian was spoken much closer, just across the river Ebro, and it is partially deciphered but is not in the same linguistic family as Basque.
The only language known to be related to Basque is old Aquitanian. Some inscriptions that survive of that language written in Roman characters are easily understandable by any modern day Basque speaker. However, it is not clear that old Aquitanian and Basque were really separate languages, perhaps they were dialects spoken by different tribes of the same group that happened to receive different names by the Roman invaders.
Before the arrival of the IE-speakers Europe had already spent millennia receiving newcomers, mainly from Anatolia and the Eastern steppes, who admixed with the ancient hunter-gatherers, so I suspect that a lot of different unrelated pre-IE languages were spoken.

Overall, contrary to ((Armenian)) propaganda, Senegalese were relatively humane rulers, ridding the world of evil Azov religion and civilizing and improving the plight of the Ukranians whom they had conquered.
Tesak (Maxim Martzinkevitch) is dead. He was well known among the Russian national socialist circles. A kind of Skinhead superstar in the late 90ies and early 2000s Moscow.
He died in prison, supposedly by suicide. He has been sentenced several times, including for violent activism against pedophiles and drug traffickers. He was a courageous man and also an ultraviolent thug. He wrote a book about Russian prison codes and traditions and how to survive there. Interestingly enough, the last book he was reading in prison was about Communism he asked in a farewell letter the book be given to his wife.
RIP.

It was definitely the Russian one. If there is a Belarus version, good luck to them. Mondelez moved all their choclate from the UK to Poland and it is all too sweet. A recipe for the US market and also perhaps, sugar is cheaper than cocoa.

This map is complete bullshit. According to it, Bulgaria should be 40-60% lactose intolerant.
I literally didn’t know that such a thing as “lactose intolerance” even existed until I heard it mentioned one day in “The Big Bang Theory”…
This map is complete bullshit. According to it, Bulgaria should be 40-60% lactose intolerant.
You may well be right, but on the other hand it seems interesting that per capita milk consumption in Bulgaria is remarkably low compared to that in more “lactose-tolerant” countries.

Greece, which is the same color on the lactose intolerance map, has higher consumption than Norway and the UK.
