I found the work of Cibulka very interesting and then I was digging around and relocated the 2012 piece. And overall it is in keeping with the Fall of the USSR as both ruse and reality of a Sino-Russian alliance. And the West is cowed by Das Kapital and China both to help built the Hybrid future,.

Sitting in a Polish pub with a bunch of Poles in the 1990s they told me, skeptical to say the least, that the fall of the Soviet Union was a ruse.

We wern't big fans of Reagan & Thatcher at that time. But it was very obvious from all the Eastern Europeans in the UK & Western Europe in the late 80s and early 90s that Communism was far worse.

Ah stomach from the marvelous media diet. Men my age in tropical climes having nothing better to do combed beaches for valuable trinkets after storms. A life of constant storms makes me think a jig saw piece seen differently by sunlight late afternoon in stormy winter on a Monday to be crucial. https://youtu.be/1gDhR1R3S0s

How's the jigsaw coming along.

Do all the pieces belong to the same puzzle.

Puzzling indeed. When and where was the Ur-Eve and who was Ur-Adam? Demiurge hides. Human guesswork steps in. Suddenly not only Denisovans in the family tree. An international team of scientists has described an ancient human fossil in China unlike any other hominin found before.

It resembles neither the lineage that split to form Neanderthals, nor Denisovans, nor us, suggesting our current version of the human family tree needs another branch. https://www.sciencealert.com/ancient-skull-found-in-china-is-unlike-any-human-seen-before

But before this we had Dragon Man. https://www.sapiens.org/biology/homo-longi/

So I dunno is now instead of a new 3d species Longi is all too something else?

I'm surprised that anything human is allowed to be described as having "primitive traits". Lack of a chin seems to be the thing. Well a derogatory term for a lot of blue bloods was *chinless wonders*.

Yummy. I once was so broke going to Starbucks working fundraising for the Opera part time a friend who worked there too mocked me over not paying $3.50 for my scone. I turned it down. Bill is a true San Francisco story. An English major with honors and due his rather profitable marijuana business an Ex-Con after 5 years in Federal prison. His brother a college professor in Nevada.

Soros is an interesting name, being the same backwards or forwards. Is his death imminent?

He is definitely going to die; read his name forward or backwards, he cannot escape his karma, it's on him like a freight train.

He's 93 years old.

Wishing death on him would be a wish sure to be granted. LOL

The easy recruit would be one who has already swapped sides for personal advantage, and can swap around some more for pecuniary or power advantage.

The hard part seems to be how to write themselves a biography.

Yes, then they can blame the author when the bio doesn't have the desired outcome.

Like in this sorry Soros case.
