No One Wins In The End

No One Wins In The End

4/19, Today we remember the tragic end to the Waco Seige and the invention of LSD. A massacre committed by the U.S. government against the American people. A tool created that would later end up being used against the American people in the ’60s. With these we are reminded that the war still rages.

From CNBC:

Russia’s new offensive in the Donbas region could prove to be extremely significant and decisive in the war, analysts warn, and could determine how the country’s territorial boundaries look in weeks and years to come.

“The Russian war machine in the east could prove to be a very painful threat for Ukraine quickly,” Maximilian Hess, fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, told CNBC Tuesday.

“It’s quite clear that Russia’s war aims remain quite extensive,” Hess added, saying that how the battle for Donbas proceeds “will determine how much of Ukraine east of the Dnipro (a river that bisects Ukraine) that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin carves away.”

The war really could go either way, GAE is dragging it on to hurt Russia more and more.

 

Watch in smug glee at the rich, attractive, popular wannabes blow their money and have a lame time at Coachella.

In fact, people spend far more time sitting on the ground than you might expect.

The sun is so strong that people skip shows and activities just to sit in the shade.

It’s so hot that some people can’t bear to go near the stage, even if they want to watch the performance.

It can also be difficult to get close to the stage thanks to massive VIP sections, which are closed to regular patrons.

These people look down on people like me and you for being ourselves. Hope they got sun burned, STDs, hangovers, and worse.
