  • This reminds me of when i read about ancient norse gift giving culture years ago. Apparently it was expected that when you had a relationship like say a friend youd give them a gift, and youd get a gift back that was a little better usually. But it was considered really rude to give someone a huge gift that would be a burden for them to gift you something similar in return. Since the expectation was theyd give an equal or better gift back, and your placing this huge social burden on them to come up with something appropriate.




  • In general even if your donating the blood for free they will still charge the person who gets the blood thousands of dollars at least in the US. They might just bill it as the service of sticking the needle in and hanging the bag up for you or whatever, but in essence they do charge for the blood and make a profit off of it.

    I do think its a good thing to donate and help people, but i also do think that companies take advantage of the situation to make a profit off of it, and it is definitely exploitation. Donating blood plasma specifically is not a fun process, and it can leave a permanent scar on your arm if done a lot. The pay for it compared to the problems, and the profits they make on it is definitely understandable to see as a scam.

    Now is the answer to that to just let people who need blood die? Obviously no. The answer is the make laws that say companies must provide a fair market rate for peoples plasma if selling it, or ideally just make laws that make all healthcare free so its not an issue anymore.







  • Q: You recently said, not referring to socialism in general but to the USSR in particular, that socialism had been assassinated, stabbed in the back. In this conspiracy of daggers that killed socialism, would you say Gorbachev was one of the assassins?

    A: No, I could not say that about Gorbachev because I have another view of Gorbachev and it is not one of an assassin who plotted the USSR’s destruction.

    The USSR self-destructed in an incredible way. The responsibility for that self-destruction undoubtedly lies in the hands of the country’s leaders, those who led that nation. Now, some of them were aware they were destroying it and others were not. That is what I was trying to say, more or less, and we saw it all from the beginning.

    I cannot say Gorbachev played a role in which he was aware of the destruction of the USSR because I have no doubt that Gorbachev intended to fight to improve socialism.

    We approved of Soviet efforts to improve socialism in the USSR. But we could not approve of, and never would have agreed to, not only the destruction of socialism in the USSR, but also the destruction of the USSR itself. That inflicted terrible damage on all peoples of the world and created a bad situation for the Third World in particular.

    Imperialism would have been able to disintegrate the Soviet Union, had the Soviets not destroyed themselves, had those responsible for the strategies and tactics and for the country’s political and government policies not destroyed the country. In other words, socialism did not die from natural causes: it was a suicide, socialism was murdered. That is what I meant.


    He is referring specifically to socialism in the USSR, and suicide by the leaders of that country less so than socialists in general.







  • I have a theory on this id like to share. I do not think they are using neutron bombs. But i think instead they are lacing conventional weapons with small amounts of enriched uranium.

    Why would they do this? Well i believe there are 2 reasons. 1 is the cause of a health crisis from the radiation and higher rates of cancer and other issues but i dont think thats the main one.

    The 2nd and most important reason they do this in my opinion is tracking.

    You find a small outpost of fighters, and hit them with a bomb laced with enriched uranium particles. The bombs are likely designed not to kill everyone in the area immediately. Then the uranium get all over, and inside the people in the outpost, and those people flee to other nearby outposts or bases of whatever faction you are targeting. You can then track the radiation trail left behind by the survivors and follow them right to any other bases in that area.

    This explains why the other signs of nuclear weapons use are not there. Because it is in fact a conventional weapon. It would also only require a small amount of enriched uranium so would be harder to detect and explain why we didnt figure it out sooner.
