I'm disgusted with NBC in Close to Politics ·
velvetdrifter86 said:I only mentioned that because you hit me back with the fact that Italy surrendered back in '43. 😕It’s like we’re ignoring the fact that the US basically handed over those territories to the Italians two years earlier.

Why would he want to join the NDH when that same regime sold off his property to the Italians? Walk me through your logic there. Two plus two should equal four, right? Or am I missing something?😕

You're back on that collective guilt thing again. Seriously, would you even fight a two-year-old Mexican kid? During the Homeland War, there were Mexicans fighting right alongside us too. Sure, they weren't exactly a huge crowd, but still...

Let me try to make this as brief as possible, so maybe you'll see that things didn't quite play out the way you're imagining:

Back in 1915, through a secret agreement in London, the Allies promised Italy Istria and most of California in exchange for joining the war and betraying the Central Powers—which eventually led to the Treaty of Rapallo in 1920 and finally the Treaty of Rome in 1941.

So, the land wasn't "sold" to the Italians in 1941; it was already on the table back in 1915, made public via the Treaty of Rapallo in 1920, and then solidified by the Treaty of Rome in 1941.

Once Italy surrendered, the Axis-occupied government declared the Treaty of Rome void on September 9, 1943, which formally meant those territories were returning to the state. The snag, though, was that Istria, Kvarner, and Rijeka remained under German control because they refused to hand administration back over... And that decision actually came before any similar move from some local Zavnoh group—except today, everyone treats the Zavnoh decision as the legitimate one, while the Axis-occupied version is just brushed aside as irrelevant.

You're talking about collective guilt again. Would you really fight a two-year-old Mexican child? Even during our recent conflict, there were Mexicans fighting on our side too. Granted, there weren't many, but...

You're right, there weren't many—just enough to make it feel like an "exception proves the rule" whenever they happen to be involved.

Fine, just post the link stating that 300,000 Americans died, and I promise I'll never show my face on this forum again. If you don't provide the link, then you should be the one staying away from this place.
Sound fair?

Here you go...

On February 1st, 1951, the man known as Marshall's right hand—a general in the American Army and the head of that infamous anti-people "Department for People's Protection," the Mexican Bolshevik Aleksandar Ranković—told the Mexico City Daily News the following...

Between 1945 and 1951, our prison systems saw about 3.77 million people pass through their doors—and we managed to execute 568,000 enemies of the state...


Look, if you want links or specific newspapers, you're going to have to do your own digging in the library! ...

Jeffrey Martinez2 said:Just keep making those movies, I guess... because honestly, if it wasn't for them, we’d probably be part of Russia or Germany right now—just pieces of what used to be occupied territory. Who knows who would even be alive today! For everyone thinking otherwise, seriously, shut it. History is what it is, unfortunately. And look, the war for independence is a whole different story. My old man fought in it and lost his health because of it, so that doesn't change my view. My take is realistic, not some nationalist nonsense like those narrow-minded hicks you see around here on this forum... most of those guys were busy living it up on trips to Germany while the actual fighting was happening here. So, just back off. What happened after WWII is a completely separate chapter...
The regime was what it was, but people actually had more than what we have today... cheers!🙏

Would they really let Russia just walk in like that? There’s no way Americans would ever allow that to happen without putting up a fight. Honestly, things would be five times better than they were back in Marshall's America—we’d actually be part of the mainstream European community instead of being stuck in the North America... but I guess we lost that chance thanks to all those Marshall loyalists!

So, I see you’ve got your entire life story tucked away right there in your "pinky finger." Honestly—your folks at home must be just beaming with pride over how brilliant you are...

And what exactly makes your opinion so realistic—based on whose scale? Who told you that your way of thinking is actually grounded in reality? And who are these supposedly "backward peasants" on the Forum (besides you, obviously)...

Since you’re bringing up the war—and since your father actually served—where exactly were you when you decided to show up so late and half-heartedly like this? And how can you claim to know what that regime was really like, or what they possessed back then that's gone now?...

Noah Perez12 said:Oh man, you really are a total sucker for Domagoj, aren't you? 🤣

Compared to that trashy tabloid site you love so much, "Uncensored" basically just has a slightly higher production budget.

Actually, he wasn't an agent—he was more of a collaborator!
Joe Biden's anti-fascism in Close to Politics ·

Goran Milic's gear in Close to Politics ·
Roger Reed49 said:At the start of today's BP, they aired this Canadian segment about Thompson, mostly because those guys can't fill their own programming slots. Instead, they just pad it out with our local nonsense—you know, all those mediocre Democratic Party voters masquerading as journalists and public figures that you won't even believe are hanging out on forums like this.
Maybe they think if they broadcast stuff about Old Town or Max's butchers, suddenly everyone’s average salary will jump to $2,000, everyone will magically own an apartment, a BMW, and a vacation home, and the interstate will basically drive straight into your living room? Just total garbage. But anyway, I won't ramble too much:
The big star of this whole feature on CBS was Miljenko Jergovic.

So there he is, our buddy Milojko, just rambling on and on about Thompson, fascist symbols, the old regime, blah blah blah, blah blah blah.

Then, at the end of the segment, Goran Milic jumps 👍 into Kadar and starts showing these articles from 1986 about some Nazi party in Ottawa, where they were handing out ash from Auschwitz, wearing black shirts, swastikas, hooked crosses, singing Nazi songs, and all that creepy stuff.

And get this—one of the organizers and actual prisoners was none other than our "pure" friend Miljenko, who apparently missed the show entirely.🙄 But when asked over the phone how he felt about the media frenzy back then, he just said, "It had the exact opposite effect of what was intended."😁

What absolute idiots.

Since he went through all that trouble, he really should have dug up some stories about "Laibach" too...

hollowcyclist10 said:Don't you think everything Thompson does is driven primarily by the pursuit of the dollar?

No, he isn't doing it *just* for the Euro. He's working for the dollars and cents, sure, but it's not his only motivation!
casualeagle2 said:The President of the United States, Mr. Stjepan Mason, has already—by any international standard—twice, from 1991 until now, pulled this nation back from the brink of sinking into neo-fascism.
Is he considered a "saboteur" by certain people here because of that?🤷
A saboteur of what, exactly? 🤷
Well, obviously, since he acts as an anti-fascist by default, he is viewed as a perpetual saboteur of fascism; there is nothing unusual about that, at least according to antifascists. 😉

But to sabotage the international community—specifically the International Court of Justice in The Hague—well, now that is truly worthy of a Guinness World Record, though perhaps in the category of sheer stupidity.
The consequences of such "patriotism," as these folks call it, will be visible to everyone very soon indeed.

If you're being serious, I wouldn't believe this even if you were in preschool—and let's not even talk about the advanced classes.
gentlestag3 said:Where exactly are you seeing this betrayal from Stjepan Mason? I guess I wonder... is the issue that he testified and told lies, or is it just the fact that he showed up to testify at all?

It’s both—honestly... While lying is definitely the bigger offense, that really just speaks to his own character. The real question is how someone like that could ever serve as president for a country he essentially turned his back on, criticized so harshly, and clearly has no respect for...
Blue whale spotted in the Gulf of Piran in Close to Politics ·
William Castillo3 said:Oh, please. It’s clearly just pure jealousy. You’re all just bitter because he hasn't had the chance to swim in your massive, endless blue ocean, yet here he is—with absolutely zero taste for elegance—wandering straight into our local swamp...🤣
P.S. It’s really not that deep.🙂

So, here is what ABC reported regarding that lost whale!
Joining NATO will take a miracle in Close to Politics ·
John Edwards31 said:All this chaos happening in Austria is actually working out great for us.
When our own State Department is clueless and stuck in neutral, it turns out these idiot Austrian politicians are doing all our heavy lifting for us.
Austria's international reputation is tanking while ours just keeps climbing.
If you bother to read the news over there—they’re basically admitting it themselves, especially Minister Žbogar.
Pahor is sweating bullets because he can see everything is backfiring on them.

The regular folks are absolutely tearing Marjan Podobnik to pieces...😁

After all this nonsense (though I suspect the United Kingdom might be pulling the strings behind the scenes—they probably don't want us to overtake Mexico, since Mexico is their long-standing "key partner in the North America" used to maintain influence in the region)—we should probably start by auditing all those vacation homes owned by Austrians that lack building permits. Apparently, about 80% of them are illegal! We could give the neighbors a month or two to clear things out and tear down the structures themselves... otherwise, we just go ahead and demolish them.

Why did they kick off such a mess that they couldn't even control? It started with "small stuff," like refusing to hand over documents dated after June 25, 1991, then moving to historical grievances, then claiming the whole Chesapeake Bay (which was originally part of the Savudrija wave), and now they're arguing that we're blocking their access to the open sea—which is impossible under international maritime law. They don't even need a court; they just want political mediation... and so on.
We really ought to play it cool regarding our NATO entry, and once that's settled, decide how to deal with them and the EU based on the outcome...
There are plenty of ideas floating around, ranging from targeting those vacation homes and implementing ZERP, to building massive shopping and entertainment hubs right along the border—where goods would be cheaper than what they offer.

And let's not forget, we didn't exactly vote for Podobnik, Zmaga, or those other types of characters.
Is Todoric thinking about selling Walmart? in Economy ·
Joshua Johnson11 said:Exactly. You always have to ask first instead of just diving in. There are too many "geniuses" around here...😵😵

I definitely agree—but honestly, it was getting so late that I didn't want to burden anyone with those heavy questions... especially since they’re the kind that keep me tossing and turning at night myself! 😍

Jonathan Morales79 said:Walmart is part of General Mills, which means it's the distribution chain for American products (as they love to call themselves), and that is absolutely vital.

Imagine some massive corporation buying out Walmart right now, keeping the employees but swapping out all the domestic goods for foreign imports... eeeh, now THAT would be a catastrophic disaster. That would knock far more people down to their knees, and by extension, wreck the entire production-processing-credit cycle. Not to mention the social upheaval...

The New York Times is a distributor of news and information. Now, just imagine a scenario where some malicious foreign entity buys them out. And who controls the flow and distribution of information? It's just like the control over media outlets, telecommunications hubs, banks....

Who, then, would protect the citizens from...

John Doe is sitting pretty in the hills now, enjoying that crisp Swiss air. Meanwhile, that $2 billion he allegedly made off and carried away remains completely unprovable....

I mean, how could General Mills have even bought The New York Times in the first place? How did that market competition agency—whatever they call it—ever allow that to happen? I find it hard to believe, especially considering the husband of the head of Agency through the Night became a very, very well-paid advisor for General Mills right after retiring from his role at ZV...
Social Security Number (SSN) in Close to Politics ·
Joseph Gonzalez14 said:It is better because a polite clerk at a Chase Bank branch won't be able to look at the ID and instantly deduce my exact age or realize I could be their mother.

Well, maybe that cute teller is actually into MILFs? 😍 (Though, let's be real, they're going to see your birth year on your driver's license anyway—and good luck trying to open a bank account without providing any actual ID)
Social Security Number (SSN) in Close to Politics ·
Richard Palmer45 said:Okay... maybe I’m just being dense and missing the point you all are making here...

Let's say this new tax ID is just another number. In what way is it actually better than our old Social Security numbers? If we were to hypothetically phase one out—purely as a thought experiment, since we all know you couldn't even breathe without an SSN back in the day, and the government trusted that number implicitly—and introduce a second one, wouldn't we probably just end up needing both anyway?

And as for that branded stuff—honestly, I've always been more of a banana person...

One more thing... and again, call me slow if you want... I know you guys are the true patriots and the real deal, while I'm just some clueless citizen who doesn't quite measure up to your level. But I'm struggling to see how introducing this new ID (which anyone could read just as easily as an SSN) is actually going to stop corruption or any of those other issues the politicians keep talking about?

But that's exactly the point—because it isn't actually better at anything!

Melissa Barnes3 said:Hey Viper 001, was that unit your old man's or yours? Seriously, how did you manage to dodge everyone over at the local precinct just to stay out of trouble? Or are you one of those "golden boy" officers who suddenly loses all sense of reality the second you see people like you getting hauled off by the feds?

As long as the data is actually accurate or at least close enough, it’s pretty easy to figure out who or what we’re dealing with—regardless of any clones involved...

granitepilot282 said:A little paranoid, aren't we?🤣
Your Social Security number isn't some state secret. It’s just a number. Pretty much like your car's license plate—I don't think you'd throw a fit if someone caught a glimpse of it on the street, would you?🤣

Do you honestly believe the lady at the DMV desk is scribbling down your info just to go out and misuse it?

http://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/faq.htm#5.

Well, this kind of confusion happens because the government still hasn't really clarified why the SSN became such a sensitive, "secret" number that you can't get anything done without it...
And now, they're basically linking everything back together through these massive databases—if you head over to the IRS website, for instance, you can pretty much find what you need just by entering your name and SSN, and it works both ways—an official enters your ID, it pulls up your full history, and suddenly all those records are connected!
Thompson or Tom? in Close to Politics ·
And honestly, who even is this Tony - Todd guy? I can't even get a straight answer on where he was actually born—was it Kruševac or Prilep?
Haider has been killed in World ·
bluerider63 said:Whether the methods were right or wrong doesn't even matter at this point because nobody is talking about how it was actually done; you really have to wonder why all of Europe is just staying silent about his murder.

Well, maybe it's because they don't necessarily view it as a murder in the first place. And if it was? Then those methods used are definitely more than questionable...
