The War of Independence

By Mitya Indursky

Bollocks! We need to rewrite history yet again! They’ve bluntly lied to us announcing the victorious outcome of the War of Independence. The reality on the ground points otherwise. The sound of the drums of war banging is still loud enough to be dismissed. 

A significant part of the American population, especially in the South East, is quite reluctant to bid farewell to arms. These intrepid citizens are still at odds with the British Crown. 

Their offense is unstoppable, as their success is imminent, thanks to the “creative minds” of their numerous “soldiers.” It looks like the latter have finally found a truly deadly explosive mix to change the tide of war in their favor. 

The future of the ongoing fight with the “ugly” remnants of the British Heritage such are the ROUNDABOUTS, looks so bright that I should wear shades! 

Our intrepid proponents of the hit-and-miss technique had once again proved that beauty is indeed in simplicity. It would make Archimedes change his mind, and take a shower instead of enjoying a bath. All you need is just a pinch of an everlasting American ingenuity mixed with a scary high dosage of cluelessness and unreasonable doubt. 

Now, from the theory to an immediate application. The latter is rather flexible and consists of two inclusive, kamikaze-like approaches. Let’s quickly check both, since (as mentioned before) they would put Archimedes into a vertical position instead of a well-known horizontal one! 

Number one.
Unreasonable Doubt
Should I enter the roundabout now or let the car already on it pass, and go after it, before the vehicle behind me will send me and my vehicle to a separate, but nevertheless joyful afterlife parties? Oh, I know, let me crawl to the roundabout instead, hoping that the famous Southern Hospitality would make my fellow driver slow down. Boom, dead, and no sweet tea and grits for you whatsoever! And, chances are your fellow driver won’t be able to enjoy the Southern delights either! 

Number two.
Cluelessness
Thank G-d I am on the roundabout in one piece. However, there are fellow drivers on my right waiting to get on the damn circle. I need to stop and let them go! 

Nah, you don’t, may your heart be blessed from here to eternity! You are not in a damn France! You are on a damn roundabout in your beloved South East with a big truck right behind you! Boom and the Angels would start singing Ave Maria, but you won’t hear it! No grits and sweet tea for you as well, may Seinfeld and the War of Independence be blessed!


Thank G-d we have names

I was not surprised to see the 750 journalists signatures under the letter condemning Israel. Most of the scribblers claim to be independent. Some of them represent big outlets such as The Washington Post, The LA Times, The Houston Chronicle, The Boston Globe, HuffPost, The Guardian, etc…

They’ve made history together with my day, my week, my month – stretching (hopefully) into the future that looks so bright that I should wear shades. I wish they have not, but they had!

Brave and relentless men and women, they are fighting injustice and oppression of the “apartheid” state along with its “killings” of their colleagues to the left, to the right, and maybe to the center.

Brave and relentless men and women, they’ve climbed the three-step ladder, reached the Black Friday’s finish line (3rd year in a row) and joined the Sisyphus team against all odds.

They’ve succeeded kicking out mass competition on the way to an ultimate success.

They’ve outmanuevuered the freelancers embedded (by some outlets) with the “curious” Hamas “tourists” who evidently stopped for food and fuel in Southern Israel on the way to Tel-Aviv for a sneak peek of the new Gal Gadot movie.

Is it save to presume that the Hamasniks call to the media was necessary due to their frustration with the high ticket prices?

Brave and relentless men and women, they’ve outclimbed the apes hanging from the balconies of the Grand Central Station instead of enjoying hospitality of the Bronx Zoo, proving to non-believers that Mr. Darwin’s Theory of Evolution is alive and very much kicking.

By hook or by crook these unknown keyboard warriors for “tolerance and non-biased coverage” had finally managed to make history.

The kind of history that (sadly) brought to fame Frederick T. Birchall and Anne O’Hare McCormick, the NYT foreign correspondents in Nazi Germany, their colleague John Elliott, the New York Herald Tribune’s Berlin correspondent and many others.

The latter names are largely forgotten now, and today (less than a week after being published) the public will find it hard to recall a single name out of those 750 who signed the letter.

Some will say, rightfully so. I don’t agree. Writers and journalists had, have and will have an ability to influence, incite, moreover, to “kill” more people than any single soldier is capable of taking out on a battlefield.

Indirectly, the choir of the soft and/or praising voices had led Hitler to a bloodthirsty crusade. The “Free Radio and Television of the Thousand Hills” in Rwanda was instrumental to the Hutu led genocide against the Tutsis.

We should make an effort to remember the names of the 750 journalists-signatories of the infamous anti-Israeli letter. For the sake of history that they’ve surely made!

There will be no header and/or preface to this text outside of one paragraph below.

I love excuses. Especially, when it comes to Israel. Especially, the ones related to the words “peace”, “civilian population concerns”, “escalation”, “regional war” and “first amendment.”

There are three issues that come to mind when assessing the White House stance on the situation in Gaza.

Issue N1. What prevents the Biden Administration from adding the Gaza enclave/Strip either to the U.S. FTO or the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism lists as a terrorist entity/territory?

Based on what I read, the WH will come up with at least three major points against the aforementioned proposal.

A. HAMAS doesn’t represent the whole population of Gaza;

B. Collective punishment is not an option;

C. We should not allow this conflict to escalate into a regional war.

Well, let’s briefly deal with the above.

A. The residents of Gaza had free elections in 2006. Their choice was Hamas!;

Currently, 64% of the Gaza and 50% of the West Bank residents would vote for the Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. This is according to the recent poll quoted by Mark Mellman (the Mellman Group) in his opinion piece published by The Hill (10.25.23);

B. If collective punishment is not an option, how come Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Syria, etc… are recognized as terrorist States by the U.S.?

C. Conflict Escalation into a regional war.

1. The same way of thinking prevented all (but one) modern US administrations from officially recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. In other words, the WH needs to grow beizim (cojones) to explain a few things to its Arab friends;

2. The recent U.S. bombardment of Iran’s military facilities in Syria served as a warning to Teheran or an escalation?

IssueN2.

After the infamous report of the “Israeli bombing” of the Gaza hospital the gullible NYT decided to apologize for its pro Hamas reporting. It took about a week for “the decrepit lady” to produce a whisper of an apology. During the week in question, the U.S. saw mass and violent pro-Palestinian demonstrations, literal hunts for Jewish students in different colleges, etc…

in my book, the NYT has an indirect responsibility for the above and many other actions of the numerous crowds and individuals who are supporting Hamas under the cover of the Free Palestine slogans.

“The decrepit lady” has (indirectly) provided an umbrella of legitimacy to their actions, thus should be “enjoying” legal consequences, but there will be none!

IssueN3

It’s crystal clear that the so-called Pro-Palestinian demonstrators are (in reality) supporters and/or sympathizers of the Hamas organization in general and its crimes committed in Israel. The Free Palestine slogans allow them to abuse the Freedom Of Assembly, since Hamas is on the U.S. FTO list since 2009.

The Good News Aren’t Coming In Droves

By Mitya Indursky

In reality, we are so badly divided that the good news is going away rather than coming in. They aren’t like December-speedy Santa, people created to sweeten the bitter pill of surviving another “glorious” year. Thus, pretending to be amused, when receiving NORAD’s daily updates of the Old Man’s movements.

He’ll be here on time, thanks to Rudolph’s facelift and upgraded engine, the media yells into our ears, alerting Budweiser and Mercedes to take their “horses” out of the stalls. Succeed in squeezing one of them into a Christmas stocking, and I’ll consider it a real miracle!

I’m still surprised that either the NYTimes and MSNBC or Fox and the NY Post aren’t planning to send a crew to the North Pole to make an in depth report about Santa’s political preferences and code of behavior!

The newsworthy journey should result in a criminal case of immense proportions based on politically popular accusations of corruption; racism; pro-life or pro-choice; pro-gun or anti-gun stances; or an unlawful denial or an unlawful promotion of prosperity for all.

The updated and upgraded Rudolph will become a whistleblower accusing the Old Man of all manner of Heavenly and Earthly sins, simply because the buck is dead tired of carrying the load of crap, no deer is made to withstand.

What will happen afterwards is quite predictable. The NORAD will send the jet fighters to force the Holy carriage land in D.C.

The “Man” and his unruly Deer will be separated. Santa will be placed under house arrest in the WH basement, and forced to take polygraph and truth serum simultaneously twice a day.

The sleigh will be shipped to Area 51 for re-engineering, and Rudolph will start his endless journey on Capitol Hill.

The Holy Buck will be greeted and grilled by members of numerous committees, whose knowledge of deer existence is limited to Bambi’s tear squeezing hardship. Giving the gravity of the matter, the inquest will take place behind close doors.

The media will be relentless in covering the story, the WH will be forced to react, the people on the streets and in bars will go into verbal fights supporting either side.

The newly formed joint House and Senate investigation committee Representatives will be sent to the North Pole to further witnesses (such as seals, penguins and polar bears) to either confirm or deny the crimes committed by Santa.

After years of bitter political fights and endless deliberations taking place while the power shifted from one political party to another, the stalemate would be declared. As a result of it, both Santa and Rudolph will be released into the wilderness.

When relatively far away from us, they would use social media to announce that they aren’t planning to come back to our shores anytime soon.

Both political parties and their unbiased press will start pointing fingers at each other, accusing opponents of either “cancelling” the holiday duo forever or letting the criminal Santa escape!

Some insisted that Rudolph’s buck hood is in danger, because “only G-d knows, what vicious Santa would do to the deer.” To support the claim, unverified photos of Santa’s antlers collection are circulated on the web.

Another group of profound thoughts was trying to convince vulnerable citizens that Rudolph is phony. It posted questionable evidence that the buck was really a doe, and changed sex during the teenage years. After the terminated abortion that was performed by G-dless doctors in upstate NY.

The Pentagon was the only silent party amidst political mayhem, despite numerous witnesses’ reports of illuminated sleighs in the skies over Nevada…

…We are blanketed by the idiocy of our own making, still struggling to understand that the politicians are exploiting our weaknesses to the full extent of their abilities.

Nowadays it’s rather easy than complicated, considering that a good half of the country is using a Holy Book as a daily guidance, and another half has the quotes from Campanella’s The City Of the Sun inscribed on their foreheads.

It looks like the only difficult, if not impossible task is to find a significant group of charismatic people, who can help us find a compromise, thus stirring the good news towards us, but not away.

Catching up with the Community

Are you rooting for Will “Oscar” Smith or the “slapstick” Chris Rock? Should we support the “Burned by The Sun” Gov. DeSantis in his “zip it up” gay school law in Florida or stick with the long-time ”mutant chronicle” subscriber Ron Perlman – who called him a “nazi piece of shit.” And, finally, should the nation overcome its obesity by buying a gym membership (and never using it), or running a marathon in support or disgust of the male transgender athletes competing against women.

These are the most intriguing topics evading shrinks couches (sorry guys), but blanketing the American Community to a point, where even a well build bunker would produce an echo with a spin.

The intellectual and political elites across the country are heavily debating the aforementioned subjects despite a highly possible disruption of their honorable digestion systems. Consequences-heartburn, indigestion, diarrhea… and the trophy goes to Peptooooooo Bismoooool!

While in the outskirts of the Community, the simple folks are voicing arguments in their well-known meeting spots, such as local McDonalds and Walmarts. The outcome of this “filibuster” will only cause a shortage of grits, sweet tea, and fried chicken millions of consumers can’t live without!

In my book of absent wisdom, who the fuck cares! Neither event will change my daily life or that of my friends no matter who they are! All of this crap is as important to me as the fifty-year-old knickers of The Rolling Stones roadie sold at an auction at a Crackle Barrel.

Except for the one where the transgender athletes are exhausting themselves competing against real women. I still wonder, why these humans can’t have their own tournaments. Wouldn’t it be fair? Forgive me, I understand that I am living on a different planet. Please, allow me another couple of paragraphs, and I’ll fly back to where I belong with a promise not to return ever (not that I want to).

If we are so concerned about the events that bother the Community psyche so much, let me try to shift your attention to four equally important issues:

1. We should check the status of the Tree Huggers to see if any of them are discriminated against or are denied representation in our elected bodies;

2. I feel sorry for the Kardashians project, cause it looks like their highly lucrative “pimping thy kin” operation is in danger of becoming obsolete;

3. Robert De Niro should come up with a new stunt, hopefully including a wooden tank or a plastic bazooka to attack Donald Trump. Preferably after the latter’s announcement that he is running again, but not specifying where and how;

4. If I’m correct about the preceding three points, the fourth one should advocate for a great number of mental hospitals to appear in our wonderful Communities. Stuffed with TVs paid for by the cable companies, where the masterminds of insanity are very much alive and kicking. Sorry, slapping, running, and swimming with the “Nazi shit!”

The Vegetarian West

“Today you should eat the veggies”, my Mom used to tell me when I was a kid, “If you do it, tomorrow I may give you a steak with potatoes.”

The elite in Moscow will take care of Putin, whether the Russians will raise their bloody banner in Kyiv, or the Ukrainians will send them where they sent the Russian Navy ship couple of weeks ago (GFU and jump off the cliff). So the pundits in Washington, and the burbs in Virginia, do say. Putin has lost the war, either way, they insist, it’s only a matter of time.

Difficult to disagree, especially with the latter notion. Everything is a matter of time, and even time itself is a matter (unless one is a hermit in a well prepped Altai bunker dealing with the tranquilized-by-fear in Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Rome, and Washington).

Time is what the Kremlin dictator has despite all the sanctions and overwhelming verbal support of Kyiv coming from the enlightened West. Putin is a murderer, Mr. Biden said when asked a few months ago. Putin is a war criminal, the former basement dweller insisted today.

For once, Mr. Biden is correct, but it took him and his mighty NATO allies exactly 21 days to figure it out. Not without difficulty if we recall the multiple arms twisting. Remember Germany, Italy, Hungary, and others?

Ukraine paid with thousands of killed and starved to death women, children, and elderly, not to mention the destruction of her cities and hamlets while waiting for the very free world and its White House leader to overcome disagreements and BUREAUCRATIC hurdles.

With the speed of a mortally wounded turtle, the mentally old and crippled West schlepped to its communal kitchen to (largely) serve Kyiv the molecular cuisine instead of a steak!

No, I’m not a proponent of the NATO troops on the ground. Neither will I be in ecstasy seeing the NATO planes in the Ukrainian sky. (Honestly, when it comes to NATO I don’t think that outside of our, British and Canadian troops-any other “important” members of the military alliance can really fight! Definitely neither the Germans nor the French. Beer and wine suit them better than carbines and drones.)

I’m talking about the old Russian MIGs and the Patriot air defense systems and the heavy artillery that should have been delivered to Ukraine within the first week of the Russian invasion.

Please, don’t insult my intelligence when it comes to the NATO voting procedure and/or the logistics. Such a powerful military alliance (as it presents itself) should have been able to figure it out. Of course, only if it wasn’t scared to see the Russian war against Ukraine as a matter of urgency, and NOT a matter of time!

Going back to my Mom forcing me to eat vegetables. I hated them then and was too young to understand the long-term strategy. The only thing that came to my mind was “how about the veggies with the steak now.”
