Strange Gaze: The Crazed Eyes of George Soros
byVanderleunonAugust 8, 2022
George Soros vows to keep backing woke DAs despite urban crime spikesThe Capital Research Center reported in January of this year that Soros has given more than $29 million to left-wing district attorney candidates through a network of political action committees. Other incumbents who have benefited from the largesse include Larry Krasner in Philadelphia, Kim Foxx in Cook County, Ill., Kim Gardner in St. Louis, and Kim Ogg in Harris County, Texas.
When parking in the handicapped space is prescient.

As you look at this picture, you’re on a planet spinning at 1,040 miles per hour, or .3 miles per second. (That’s at the equator. You can calculate your own personal speed by multiplying the cosine of your latitude by 1,040). The earth spinning beneath your feet is at the same time hurtling around the sun at 18.5 miles per second. In addition, your entire solar system is cartwheeling around the milky way at 140 miles per second. Even at that incomprehensible speed, it will still take 250 million years for you to complete a single rotation around the galaxy. Pitted against these immense facts, this small square image controls your psychological outlook and gives you a feeling of calm.
Inside the submarine capable of launching nuclear missiles –Off the coast of Hawaii, ABC News visited the USS Maine, one of 14 Ohio Class U.S. Navy submarines capable of launching nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles. Measuring two football fields in length and weighing 18,000 tons, the massive submarine carries 20 Trident 2 D5 missiles capable of striking targets up to 4,000 miles away. Each missile is capable of holding up to 12 nuclear warheads — one reason why these submarines are able to carry about 70% of the nation’s active nuclear arsenal allowed by the New START Treaty.
There’s a disturbing trend going on in America these days with rewriting science to fit ideology. We’ve gone from fat acceptance to fat celebration. pic.twitter.com/r0zmqtamUl

August by Vargas was great.
Didn’t really notice her seat belt, my eyes were up there.
The devil, Soros incarnate.
I chain saw where I want.
Up here atop the world is the world for our children.

An eye cleanser is needed after looking at those visuals of Soros and Biden. In honor of Olive, and because today is International Cat Day, here is an international (well, French voiceover and English subtitles, at any rate) cat video:
I got a paper straw at a restaurant in Ventura. Damn thing was nasty, like putting a toilet paper roll in my mouth. I tossed it, and put up with ice cubes against my teeth. Might of saved a dolphin or two, though. You never can tell.

Old Gyorgy is rolling up on 92 within the week. His continuing existence remains a wonder to me. While I have known, and known of, many good and virtuous folk to reach their centenary (I think, especially of your beloved mother, GVDL), I sometimes wonder if there is not some tiny bit of something to the notion “only the good die young”? Will no one rid us of this turbulent philanthropath, the Almighty included, or are we to bear his depredations until he’s 110? 120? One can only imagine what rough bargain he struck with whatever dark forces to make it to his great age, given his early career as harbinger of deportation and death.
As there are good men as well as evil, may I here make to those of you who are believers (of all sorts), a not so small request? I speak for the cause of Brother Marinus, the Benedictine monk, formerly Leonard LaRue, Master of SS Meredith Victory, who during the Christmastide evacuation of Hungnam following the retreat of Allied forces from Chosin managed to carry out through poorly marked and heavily mined waters some 14,000 North Korean civilians, away from the misery, oppression, and starvation of the North to the vastly freer South. It would be an impressive number for any ship of today. Having spent a year as second mate aboard a “Victory” (ex Tuskegee Victory, the US Naval Ship Dutton), I can attest that such a number on such a ship belongs to the realm of the supernatural, the miraculous. 14,000 souls depart Hungnam , 14,005 arrive Geoje Island (0 deaths, 5 births during the voyage). In insanely packed holds and tween decks, on deck, freezing, for three days.
To make a long, albeit inspiring story short, the US Catholic Council of Bishops last year approved the cause for sainthood of Brother Marinus, a step towards beatification. Toward that end, may I ask that you say this prayer for him:
God, our Father, Creator of the seas, Protector of refugees, and all those in need,
You called Captain Leonard LaRue to recognize Your Son Jesus Christ in the faces of the Korean refugees, and led him as Brother Marinus to a life of prayer and service in the tradition of St. Benedict.
May his life be an inspiration to us, and lead us to greater confidence in Your love, so we may continue his work of caring for the people of the sea, welcoming those who are refugees from war, and deepening all the faithful in their prayer and work of service.
We humbly ask that You glorify your servant Captain Leonard LaRue/ Brother Marinus, O.S.B. on earth according to the design of Your holy will, and the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Through Christ our Lord. AMEN
N.B. I must admit to several prejudices here, above the obvious one of shared profession:
1. I would not exist but for the actions of the man whose given names I bear, who lies unrecovered in his jet in the Sea of Japan, so the Forgotten War still resonates with me.
2. I was a Raleigh boy, so have known, and cared for, a few Meredith lasses. Most of the Victory ships were named after colleges.
Oh, and if any such prayers should bear miraculous fruit, please do report in to your local priest…
What pisses me of more then anything is the chickenshit amounts he’s purchasing elected officials for,,,,,,lllEnd of the day it’s nickels and dimes.

You would think that the impending end of a great nation , perhaps the greatest nation ever, would be more obvious and telling. But here we are on the precipice of doom from half dozen different causes and our leaders are passing $800 billion spending bills which include higher taxes and all the money is going to left wing friends and families. They are ballsy I’ll give them that. It’s almost as though they don’t think they will lose the midterm election. Oh yeah! I forgot they are going to steal it again. The only question now is will the economy be totally destroyed before the Russians attack and destroy our diverse and woke military.
What’s your plan? It’s coming; war, famine, death, destruction…

OneGuy,
Desperately thinking out loud, if the US economy actually tanks, everyone else’s will go down the toilet too. At some point all the debt we currently have will come due and we won’t be able to pay, or everyone simply quits buying US debt. Gubmint checks stop and people riot. I also believe a centrally planned Chinese Gubmint cannot be successful long term. With a world wide depression local gubmint services everywhere would be spotty. EBT cards eventually won’t work in the US and that is when the riots really start, in major cities. Your WalMarts will be looted and trashed and if there are other supply disruptions then average guy, me/you, won’t be able to get food at the store. Then it will get real FUGLY. Riots and looting with nobody to stop it. Gobs of folks will be shot, good and bad.
Train yourself and your family in handling firearms. You might have to have your local HOA defend the cul de sac. Initially looters are going to look for easy targets, henceforth, do not appear to be an easy target. You better be ready to shoot someone unless you want all the women raped. Stock up on water, rice, peanut butter, SPAM and other items that will keep. Don’t let your Bible get dusty.

All of the “necessities” you used in the past 3 years, buy all of them again right now.
While you can.
Next year this time you’ll wish you had.

My Lord, if there exists any creature, on this planet, with a more demon infested lizard face than Soros I, for certain, do not want to see it. He is simply more proof that we become what we practice in life and with him being such an old demon I’ll wager that he’s in for the worst of the worst…..cast completely aside when he can no longer serve his master.
No human soul should ever experience that but I suspect that he may be beyond redemption.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
