Cheers, Neil 🙂 Congratulations, albeit belated, for your birthday!
Did you know that Yuri Gagarin made his flight exactly on Cosmonautics Day? Isn’t it a wonderful coincidence? 🙂btw, for ET, Jack and the story with the grinders: this manner of Western journalism to make stories where there were none initially, gives scope for humor. I’ll adopt one joke for you:
“The word Vladimir has 8 letters, the word Donald has 6 letters. 8-6=2, which is how many eyes Hitler had. Just think about it!”The fucked up “logic” of Western journalists, their manner of drawing conclusions, is ridiculed with jokes like this one:
“Vegans do not eat cattle meat, but eat grass.
Cattle eat grass, just like vegans.
Vegans are cattle.
Non-vegans and meat eaters eat cattle meat.
So they can eat vegans.”Funny, I find it 🙂
I have nothing to do with religion, but I bring here information relevant to the topic of Ukraine, the persecution of the church.
For those who didn’t follow the events:
Russia and Ukraine had not only one state and were one people, but also had a common Christian Orthodox Church. Poroshenko, when he was the president, asked for a separate tomos from Konstantinopol, so he divided the church in two, organizing its own patriarchate. Most believers and priests did not accept the new rules, calling it a schism. The Ukrainian authorities began persecuting the “old” church.Today’s article refers to Archpriest Balashov and Vladimir Legoida from the Synodal Department for Church-Society Relations, who express much concern about Ukraine’s plan:
the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine has created a commission to inspect the relics of the saints in the caves of the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra monastery; the results of the inspection will be classified. The Ukrainian state is also trying to evict the monks of the oldest Russian monastery. The Ministry of Culture of Ukraine terminated the lease agreement, and the monks were required to leave the Lavra in March 2023.More background into the situation:
The state of Ukraine have organized the largest wave of persecution in the country’s modern history. The target is the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) of the Moscow Patriarchate, the largest community of believers in the country. Local authorities in various regions of Ukraine have decided to ban the UOC, under the pretext of its ties to Russia. The SBU began to open criminal cases against the clergy. Bishops and priests in churches and monasteries are being searched for evidence of “anti-Ukrainian activities.” Some members of the clergy have been convicted by Ukrainian courts, and many are under arrest. Hundreds of Orthodox churches of the UOC have been forcibly seized by Ukrainian schismatics with the support of local authorities, people are subjected to physical violence.
In September 2024, a law adopted by the Ukrainian parliament and signed by Zelensky came into force. It allowes to ban the UOC.Here is a link to a yt video on the history of the OUN and banderites and their Nazi ideology. Might be interesting for some.

Speaking about books I remember reading “Hillybilly Elegy” a couple of years ago (a book about the social breakdown of rural america), little did I know that JD Vance wrote it.

In other news, complate bonkers reasoning from Germany: Germany do not seek a peace in Ukraine for atleast 5 yearsHe also added that if the war in Ukraine ends by 2029-2030, russia will be able to become a threat to Europe more quickly. This will allow russia to shift its energy and efforts to Europe, and not just Ukraine.

How could these people not realze that the longer the war goes on, the greater the risk that it will spread? Their reasoning is completely backwards.
