    U.S. trophy hunters slaughtering hibernating bears and cubs.

    Friends of the Earth:

    “It was illegal to shoot harmless bear cubs and wolf pups in their dens — and rightfully so. These precious baby animals remain in their dens for shelter and warmth until they are strong enough to venture out into the world.

    But the Trump Administration overturned this ban — and even incentivized prize hunters with massive handouts. And now, reckless trophy hunters can legally shoot hibernating mama bears and their helpless cubs indiscriminately, including while they sleep peacefully in their dens.”

    Conspiraloons don’t tend to like books much. They are averse to knowledge.

    TS- “..reveals your true self: a cross-eyed, foaming at the mouth, tin foil
    hat wearing MSM zombie.”

    Extremely offensive and unnecessary. As are words which mock health conditions, used by TS.

    Chaplin summed it up physically when, pursued in the U.S. and shot at in Mexico, he straddles the border and walks with one foot on either side.

    Similarly, Jean Genet as an unwanted vagrant played hopskotch on the German/Polish border.

    “Now, Ukraine will be reduced to a parking lot, its people to penury.” (TS)

    Makes you happy, eh?

    “Liberate” people by reducing them to penury.

    Although Hungary is in NATO?
    How would that work then?

    Russian and Belarus propaganda, in comparison to NATO’s, is old-fashioned and crude.

    That is a Belarus report. To be taken likewise with a pinch of salt.

    The Christians, who held and hold a belief-based religion, were called atheists by the Romans. The Roman ruling class was what we would term today atheist, but only used the word to describe the Christian cult. This was because, for the Romans and others in the Roman world, religion meant the social etiquette of the rites. The Christians alone refused to participate in these. They also were intent on converting others, which meant discouraging others from participation in the principal forms of social etiquette and behaviour. Hence, the Christians were “atheists.”

    The Jews were known, likewise, for rejecting the rites in favour of their Unknown God, but in their case it was an ethnicity phenomenon and was therefore tolerated, except in times of revolt. But the Christians were seducing good Romans and others away from the rites, so could not be tolerated. The Jews were leaving others alone. The Christians were not.
