I like the thumpers. They look like something from one of Hayao Miyazaki's movies. Americans who are into old machinery for digging in the dirt seem to focus on tractors. Most of the machines in this video were new to me. Weiach is in Switzerland.
Two weeks before the 2020 general election, on October 21, 2020, Donald Trump issued an executive order (E.O. 13957) on “Creating Schedule F in the Excepted Service.”
You are either part of the wolf pact or you are an inconsequential peasant.
Now it might be that Biden's puppet masters think they are doing the world a service by using Ukraine as a foil to drain Russia's ability to make war. I don't buy it. I think they are headless chickens flailing against their first real competition in 50 years. Even The New York Times, once a fervent supporter of the US Government's policy, has changed their tune. Our attempt to bleed Russia is backfiring and causing the West more pain and suffering than we are inflicting on Russia.
It is our hope that our former Western partners will have the courage to admit their strategic miscalculations, which, according to the UN itself, have affected more than 1.5 billion people and provoked a surge in global inflation, food shortages, and the growth of poverty. - former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev
I've been thinking we need a new political party, one that is not beholden to the established order. I think there are enough people who are appalled by our current regime that a new party might be viable. There are probably just as many as the number of true believers supporting the current regime. (I'm talking about the 3% of the population that actually thinks about these things. The rest of the people have other, better things to do with their time.) Problem is that the current regime is well entrenched. They have established mechanisms for funding their propaganda. If we wanted to push the old regime out and supplant it with our new, improved system, we would need funding on a massive scale. Elon Musk might be a start, but Elon by himself is not going to be able to push Lockheed aside.
Biden the Puppet
There are basically two methods of running a country. One is a meritocracy where a man's success is determined by his ability, effort, clear thinking and luck. The other is the mafia where you have two levels of society, one level that works are tries, and another that siphons off as much as they want off of the top. Most of the world operates under the second system. I like to think that American government used to be a meritocracy but for the last, I dunno, 70 years?, has been turning into their own particular flavor of mafia.
Mencken and the inner soul of the people
If we were going to form a new political party, we would need some kind of manifesto, some guidelines, a list of principles that we are willing to adhere to. One item might be no more catering to special interests. Hammering that out while trying to enlist billionaire supporters might take ten years.
Psychopaths
And pushing out the old guard would take a long time. We could start small with representatives from out of the way states and work our way up.
Who am I kidding? There have been upstart political parties since the dawn of time and none have made any headway against the established order. Evidently building a new political party with enough power to change things is dang near impossible.
YouTube commenters quickly identified it as a lock for a bookmakers/runners betting slip clock bag. It was used for bets on horse races to prevent any bets from being placed after the race had started. From the complexity of the mechanism it would seem that bookmakers are even more paranoid than banks. Guess I can't blame them.
The opposition to all forms of inoculation grew in Pakistan after the CIA organised a fake vaccination drive to help track down al-Qaeda’s former leader Osama Bin Laden in the city of Abbottabad.
A Series 10 Cadillac? Yes, it was a real thing, built in 1934 and 1935. V8 engine, several body styles. I like this. Not what I usually think of when I think of an old Cadillac.
