It's from Snakes & Arrows ~ 2007.

I bet that the majority of the people don't see anything
much better, now! -- j

Brilliant!!
Our veterinarian is from Poland. He fled with his father to get out of the oppressive communist rule. He also could not practice there. Awful.

Nice one!

Ok as long as they, the Elite are exempt.

Evidence is right in front of us all, but it is ignored!

This is the image I have some days when WalMart has certain bare shelves, likely from employees not showing up. This is what the UN has in mind for all of us with their Agenda 21. Non-sustainable items include red meat, refrigeration, any food produced at farther than 100 miles from our homes. Pretty easy to control a population when you control food to that extent. Our young people have never lived with such limits, wonder how they will like what they now support? If they read history, they would know of how Khrushchev starved villages who opposed his rise to power. It will not matter if you supported Obama or opposed him, the UN and the global elite will limit the food of all but themselves.

here's the thing. before any of that happens, you will have lost many more freedoms. You will lose those freedoms with stores fully stocked. they are even still paying for welfare in Venezuela. Freedoms removed first while your refrigerator is full and plenty of ice cream in your freezer. that's how it goes

Classic. I like this rather recent one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ajfuf9W...

I'll have to pick that one up, Herb. I love Robin Williams, he was a tragic loss to humankind. I am still not convinced that he committed suicide, but he was very political so who could've blamed him if he had. RIP Mr. Williams!

Perhaps there will be a video similar to that 20 years from now.
In the middle of the store will be a statue of Obama with broken off ears yet his arms and hands will be spread as if he is giving us something.
At the base of statue words are inscribed: El glorioso Una qe difunden la riqueza alrededor.
Twenty years from now will all be speaking Spanish.
Google translate translated: The glorious One who spread the wealth around.
So blame Google if the Spanish is wrong.
You see, Obama taught me how to spread the blame around also.

I might suggest that everyone would be well served by viewing a film called "Moscow On The Hudson" particularly the grocery store scene where Robin Williams, playing the main character sees so much variety that he faints.

I've had similar accounts in my home town of Russian visitors going into the local grocery store.

Here's one for you. I had the opportunity some decades back of having a Polish coworker (brilliant engineer!) who got out of Poland before Lech Welesa brought about the big change. He was young at the time and his family and friends didn't always have enough to eat. Well, a train stopped for repairs near where he lived and the people found out it was loaded with pork headed for Russia. Sometime during the night the train somehow got welded to the tracks so the food wouldn't go to Russia. The Russians were pi$$ed but never found out who did it. (Hey, maybe that's why my friend had to leave Poland!)

Omg laughing! I can picture her, and hear her, lol.

Another Rush lover here.

Until Atlas Shrugs.

Reminds me of Reagan's joke about the young Russian who finally saved enough to buy a car. He went in and put his Rubles down. The clerk counted them out, and told him to come back in 11 years to pick up his car. He asked morning or afternoon. The incredulous clerk said it's 11 years from now, what difference does it make? The young man replied, I have the plumber coming that morning to fix a plugged toilet, and dont want to miss him.

I try to have a positive attitude and believe that nothing is wasted, but that just maybe humanity will learn from this and hopefully somewhere down the road we will evolve to the point where freedom is recognized as the only solution, but not yet....not yet...

I just wanted to pass along some funny anecdotes that are similar in vein when talking about Russkies over here.

Back in the 90's I was Chief Geologist of a producing gold/silver mine in western Nevada. We conducted many, many tours for visitors of all kinds including foreign dignitaries. For a while there after the "collapse" of the USSR we were entertaining some former high level Soviet officials that were now part of private consortiums trying to attract western technology and capital into Russia.

So, we toured them around the minesite and the offices with advanced modeling and design software and then broke for lunch in the conference room. Old Boris (yes, Boris) had a translator who was kept quite busy interpreting back and forth. Poor guy, every time he lifted the sandwich to his mouth he had to stop and translate. So, everybody backed off the serious chatter to let people eat. Well, it got too silent. Old Boris broke in and the translator interpreted: "Don't stop talking. There is an old Russian saying that whenever there is a lull in the conversation a KGB agent is born!"

What laughter in that conference room.

And then our pompous mine manager went on to tout how efficient we were in the mining industry with frugality of expensive resources. Haul truck tires even back then were around $35,000 apiece. Three times that now. So he went on with how frugal we were by running all haul truck tires to ruin by switching the worn out ones to the rear axles and let them finally fail. Old Boris interjects with translation: "That means nothing to us. We do that with our private vehicles all the time"

More laughter - at our mine manager. He didn't get it.

Add me to the list of Rush fans! Could even be a gather point at concerts! Must go check tour schedule!

Another Rush fan here. Here's a good one...

Yeah, that global warming thing is to blame! Oh... Wait.... It's colder......nevermind..

Iz better to have people wait in "Ketchup Line" than to waste valuable resources manufacturing shelves that will only be emptied in a few hours. And empty freezer bins are better because they use less electricity... Weren't you paying attention during that lecture, Comrade?
