How many have ever watched this show?

Years ago, during Vietnam, my dad said many of the MIA’s were in Russia. They lived in designed communities to grow Russian spies, teaching the kids how to be American.

I listened. I wondered as I got older, that the reason he told me those things was that no one would believe them anyway. (Honestly I don’t know how the intelligence community viewed it at the time, but now I think they felt it was okay, for the reason I stated. They wanted the younger generation to be aware of possibilities).

Just like the military brass felt we should study about National Liberation Fronts. It was so we would be able to recognize it when we were confronted with it.

The sad thing today, and evidence of how far we have shifted to the Hitler and Mussolini forms of facism, shows me why they wanted us to learn about these things, so history would not be repeated.

Yet, here we are today. There is no SDS, no far left wing party doing the things they did in the ‘60’s. No Green Peace blowing up stuff.

Instead we have Christian fascists, following blindly people that would destroy everything this country was founded on. Lemmings that do what the red hats tell them to do.

People that barely know the history of this country. People that don’t understand why we have Episcopal churches instead of Anglican churches. People that disrespect certain churches because they’re inclusive.

This is not what the country was founded on. It’s true, getting destroyed from the inside. It’s a known political ploy by Putin, the way to destroy the US is from the inside.

All are witnessing as we speak. But some seem to really think it’s cool because they can get their white man power back.

That’s all for now.
 
Brah, did you just kinda pepsi yourself?

Oh, and regarding your overall premise, no surprise that Abraham Lincoln - an actual GOP patriot - warned us exactly how this would happen:

At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it?-- Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!--All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.

At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

I hope I am over wary; but if I am not, there is, even now, something of ill-omen, amongst us. I mean the increasing disregard for law which pervades the country; the growing disposition to substitute the wild and furious passions, in lieu of the sober judgment of Courts; and the worse than savage mobs, for the executive ministers of justice. This disposition is awfully fearful in any community; and that it now exists in ours, though grating to our feelings to admit, it would be a violation of truth, and an insult to our intelligence, to deny.

Clearly some do not understand the colonization of North America. I suggest reading Albion’s seed. It is not fiction.

It’s about the 4 I initial migrations to the colonies.

Just for the record, I specialize in Colonial History. I have studied at the National Archives and lectured on Virginia.

But, go ahead and tell me that the version of history that you’ve gotten from your MAGA masters is correct, especially from the son and grandson of immigrants, and his co president, the immigrant from the most racist country in the world. South Africa.

I thought I was going bonkers!
 
I am currently re-watching the entire series, and have determined this is the inflection point where a great series went to near-shit. (Still watching all of them, but man it IS as bad as I remembered!)

GOT is the TV equivalent of:

Lol, I prefer this one (even if the BotB was pure deus ex pulp, I highly enjoyed it.)

I was telling my wife the other evening that Seasons 3-4 are "peak" GOT. You could feel things start to fray in seasons 5 and 6, go off the rails in 7 and just become glorified lame fan fiction/faux superhero movie crap in Season 8.

Episode 4 was amazing up until the end when Jaime became invincible.
 
That’s a fictional TV show on FX right?
The character names are fictional but they are based on real people who were planted in canada and then moved to the US.

Why do you think the FBI was all over those first term Trump Prez campaign workers and why do you think Trump wants to get rid of the FBI counterintelligence unit of about 5 000 agents

Trump and his buddies will sell this country out for another million
 
No shit. 🤣🤣

I never saw his first post about this, but he brings it up like an old man with dementia, unaware that he just told the same story to the other table at the monthly craft bazaar.
Really? I would never have expected this from you.

Did you all miss the news when we did the prisoner exchange last year with Russia? American kids, or so they thought, found out they were Russian on the plane.

Oh., and btw, I am a female. I was raised overseas, a military brat, with family that worked in intelligence services, and still does.

But carry on and call me a bot.

I will say this. Some of you are totally predictable. Others., frankly, I’m disappointed. I expected more. I thought some of you had a brain.
 
So you think there were no Catholics that fought in the revolution? Maryland was founded in 1634, as a safe haven for Catholics.

There were also Jews that were here before the revolution as well.

Seriously you need to study history.
No, I do, but the majority of our founders were not catholic. I know this since I’ve read like 5 books in the last year on our history and founding. Virginia didn’t like the Catholics either. The point is, Sam, Ben, John Adams, were Protestants or deists. I’m not anti Catholic. You think our founders were open minded though, which is not the case.

I’m well aware of our ancestors, trust me.
I’ve studied the Huguenots quite a bit because that is a large part of my ancestry.

Immigration and migration was my specialty when I was lecturing.

But, I understand completely what you’re saying. And, if you like this stuff, do read Albion’s Seed. It’s about the four major groups that founded the colonies.

More imagination. How are you coming along on your research of Jack Smith.

Very sorry to make your echo chamber uncomfortable. There is a special category for people that ask for links but can never provide a link to the bs they post. Especially when they were provided a link and don’t respond.

Yes, you are a liar, and not rooted in reality. It’s very clear. Clearly as you are fond of posting. You never lectured anyone except people on here. There is a good reason for that. I mean maybe you did, but with your documented history of untruths why would anyone believe you. I mean the echo chamber people on here probably believe you, but I’m referring to people rooted in reality.

Actually, I re-read this and had other thoughts

I’ve been into genealogy for 40 years, and my main focus has been Virginia. So I’ve really gotten into it. My special area is Colonial. History

Anyway, one has to do parish records, learn to read and interpret the writings from the time period. It’s like another language.

That said, Virginia was very accommodating, MA was not. That’s how RI and CT were founded. They escaped the Puritan MA. Virginia had a mix of religion early on, as well as North Carolina.

That’s enough. You can learn a lot of it in that book.

To think, the country once produced men like that, men who could think with conviction and be sober about the fragility of democracy.

Abe also wanted and ran on as a senate candidate, repatriating slaves to Liberia. Had the civil war been won by McClellan earlier, this would likely have happened as slavery would have been phased out over time, only after the 7 days that Lee routes McClellan and gave the copperheads more venom, did Lincoln go so far right with his emancipation. It was gloves off and total destruction at that point.

I lift weights while listening to the history books, trying to strengthen the mind too. What other books don you recommend? I’m a little tired of Washington, Adams, Franklin, Jefferson and Lincoln.
