He and I traded a few emails (I hasten to add I had no unusual access like this...Goldberg was just good at answering emails...) and he was a bit different back then. It's hard to describe. I don't know if his marriage changed him, or fatherhood did, or something, but there has been a change and I'm very disappointed in it. He turned into what he used to make fun of.

If i hear it for much longer I may bang my head against a wall. I've decided I don't like Mick Jagger, although he evidently keeps young by still performing and his fans enjoy him. Amostl of his songs except for "Can't get no satisfaction" are self aggrandizing as if he's saying. I'm such a sexy stud. "She's under my thumb" O.K. Mick.

Jonah just falls in the George Will "coarse and vulgar man" Trump hate. The Never Trump crowd made realize something about "our" conservative intelligentsia. They and I are really very far apart. Accurately plotting political position requires far more than one dimension, many more in fact. At any one time, "left-right" just aligns along some axis in that multi-dimensional space. And some axis that happens to be relevant to the current state of affairs. So, since the '80s, my projection along that current axis was close to George Will and all that. But really, we're very apart in the higher space. That gets exposed when there is a "realignment", and that's what Trump and Trumpism is. Note they are of the same elite stock as the lefties. Same schools, same culture. They hate us just as much as the leftists do. "Coarse and vulgar" commoners, we are. Posted by: publius, the Persistent Poperin Pear at June 22, 2017 09:59 PM (8O3HH) 133

J. Edgar, the real one, Hoover, did indeed have enough dirt on every president and probably ever member of Congress that was of an import. Not to mention all the other Washington power elite. They were scared to death of him.
So, Jonah's idea that it is unthinkable is a joke. Every president since JFK wanted to shitcan Hoover, but they dared not. LBJ waived the mandatory retirement age of 70 to avoid Hoover's wrath.

Off on on for about a week my son has been playing some song by "The Rolling Stones" with a lyric, "Don't play with me or you'll play with fire." If i hear it for much longer I may bang my head against a wall. I've decided I don't like Mick Jagger, although he evidently keeps young by still performing and his fans enjoy him. Amostl of his songs except for "Can't get no satisfaction" are self aggrandizing as if he's saying. I'm such a sexy stud. "She's under my thumb" O.K. Mick. You had a lot of women and lots of money,,,,,,and I'm supposed to care...why exactly?
--- LOL. "Play with Fire" is one of my very favorite Stones songs. That's really early Stones, from the late 60's. Same era as "Get Off Of My Cloud," "19th Nervous Breakdown" and "Paint it Black." They write about a lot of different things; I found out the song "Bitch" is about heroin addiction. Then there's "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "Sympathy for the Devil."

I never got Cohen. At all. You know how they say Dylan can't sing? He's a Pavoratti next to Cohen....
Posted by: JoeF. at June 22, 2017 10:08 PM (89VjS) When I was very young, I adored Cohen. He was a great poet (Suzanne? omg). But singing, no. And, I'm sorry, but I love Dylan's singing. In fact, he's the only one I can semi-sound-like when I sing (never, ever do, by popular demand but I can kinda nail Dylan, lol).

I sold out in Bakersfield 5 years ago. Bought a mobile on an acre here in Weldon (about 15 miles east of LI). Paid 60k cash / worth about 110k now. Love it here. Friendly people. Not much to do but fish, hunt and Bingo.

Of course you have to ignore the silly lyrics. Just like with Tori Amos - good music, silly lyrics. Eno best summed up the state of music lyrics and meaning in Sky Saw (Another Green World). Which brings up the fact that the best music to come out of the 70s was Roxy Music and Eno's solo albums. Posted by: ThePrimordialOrderedPair at June 22, 2017 10:14 PM (rZ+mb) 202

LOL. "Play with Fire" is one of my very favorite Stones songs. That's really early Stones, from the late 60's. Same era as "Get Off Of My Cloud," "19th Nervous Breakdown" and "Paint it Black."
They write about a lot of different things; I found out the song "Bitch" is about heroin addiction. Then there's "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "Sympathy for the Devil." The annoying Mick sex songs have just registered more with you since they're overplayed. I really like a lot of the Stones music, however, I cannot stand watching Mick perform live.

Peaches, what about Sierra Vista, Arizona? My husband's aunt Andy uncle retired there and love it and it is a nice town. Cooler too due to elevation.

It's a wretched hive of scum and villainy & in the most liberal county of Kansas. Like everywhere, university towns of more that 50,000 in the metro area are all pretty liberal in policy, and that is especially true in Lawrence. So even their data is wrong.

The usage of "out of pocket" to mean out of reach, incognito, goes back to at least 1908, and it's a Southernism. There are three meaning. The first simply means "paid out of petty cash" and variations. There is a third one, which is Brit, that means "broke". Ie, "I'm out of pocket", means flat broke.

Baby Sister Update:
From her friends Kris, Lynne and Lisa (who flew in from Minnesota to visit with her): "Yesterday we played some games on Joyce's iPad, she did math problems, and we took her shopping. She was in heaven with Nutter Butter cookies and Blue Moon beer we found at Walmart! She's been asking to go swimming, so after lunch we got her in the pool and she sat on the steps for a while, walked in the water (with a little help) and played water basketball. Hubby made another delicious dinner and we worked on some of her activity books. She can write and spell very well! Joyce continues to amaze us with her positive attitude, her endless gratitude toward anyone who helps her, and the grace she demonstrates while going through this difficult disease. She is teaching us all so much. We all love her and are grateful for every minute with her." Please pray that she continues on a path toward healing.

I'd like to ask the Horde's prayers for my brother, who recently had his second leg amputated below the knee (diabetic complications). He's been in intensive rehab hoping he can get a second prosthesis soon but he said his insurance won't pay for any more therapy and he is really, really depressed about it. Usually he's pretty upbeat but he did not sound good tonight...

If you haven't seen it, I highly, highly recommend the documentary Sound City. It's about this legendary shit hole recording studio where so many great albums were made on this one particular sound board. Fleet wood Mac met there and recorded their first album. Tom Petty. The list goes on and on. Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters did the doc. Top notch.

Posted by: mpfs at June 22, 2017 10:25 PM (JSJGD) Everything's gridlocked now. They just took out two lanes of Venice Blvd. from Centinela to the beach. Bike lane at the curb, parking between that and the ONE remaining lane (both sides) and bollards. Too bad for you if you need an ambulance or a fire truck. Did the same down on Vista del Mar along the beach south of Playa. Adding an hour to people's commutes. John and Ken are all splody headed. Residents are suicidal.

The origin of the "icognito" meaning of the phrase was apparently first seen in official print (whatever they dictionaries use as official citations) in 1908. It's etymology is unclear, but there is speculation that it was a phrase used by the cops first to mean they had lost a suspect or a prisoner. He slipped out of their pocket.

I came of age in the mid-to-late 70s, but liked 60s music better at the time. I think the 60s were a more innovative decade, but I can accept the argument that the 70s were better for variety. Also, some of the musical ideas that were pioneered in the 60s came to fruition and were more fully developed in the 70s.

The late 80's is when things started to get a bit iffy and stereotyped "80's" kicked in.

maryrose,
You are a genius! I can see it now: Comey portrays his wife as the leaker and himself as the hero who was only trying to protect her!

PASADENA >> What began as an investigation into public urination at a Pasadena Gold Line station on Wednesday led deputies to seize two guns, high-capacity magazines, suppressors and a machete from the suspect's duffel bag, authorities said.
Deputies first approached a man about 9 a.m. after spotting a man relieving himself in a planter along the sidewalk outside the Sierra Madre Villa Gold Line Station at Madre Street and Foothill Boulevard, Los Angeles County sheriff's officials said. The deputies confronted the man about the offense, and the suspect provided them with what turned out to be a false name, according to Deputy Katherine Zubo of the sheriff's Transit Policing Division, who took part in the arrest. The man was carrying a duffel bag with him. A search of the suspect's bag turned up a loaded AR-15-style rifle, fitted with two 30-round magazines and a suppressor, as well as a .40-caliber pistol with a high-capacity magazine and a suppressor and a large machete-style knife, Sheriff Jim McDonnell said. The bag also contained a notebook full of writings and a Bible. He was booked for weapons violations. Posted by: Islamic Rage Boy at June 22, 2017 10:58 PM (e8kgV) 473

No. The crap was crap. OK, we had full heads of hair then, and got laid by lots of hot chicks. I get it, and definitely can relate.
But the music was no better or worse than that now. Most of it was shit, but mercifully we've forgotten about that, and only remember the good stuff. Remember "Yummy Yummy Yummy I've Got Love In My Tummy?" QED. Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at June 22, 2017 10:41 PM I'm a sucker for 70's bubblegum. It was awesome. At the time, I was about 50's and 60's stuff and didn't really appreciate the 70's. It didn't dawn on me until the 80's that I was being spoiled by quality and quantity in the 70's and that even the throwaway stuff was pretty good. The 60's may have had greater high points and innovation, but the 70's had breadth. Those K-Tel compilations of cheese were a goldmine of second or third tier stuff that have a ton of charm and feeling. Much more so than the 60's throways (with exceptions).

That's about right. Another radio programmer had a theory once that makes sense to me about cycles in pop music. A new sound takes root, becomes more popular in a few years, then dominates. After people burn out on that, there's a "doldrums" period before the next cycle begins. Each cycle lasts about ten years, and since the rock and roll era is generally pegged as starting in 1955, the mid-decade being the start of a new cycle makes sense. I'm not sure that theory still holds today. The internet seems to have speeded that up. Posted by: Captain Whitebread at June 22, 2017 11:05 PM (rJUlF) 499
And what people think of as "the 60's" really started with the British Invasion of '64, and ran til the great McGovern flameout in '72. You could say that culturally, "the 70's" started with Nixon's resignation a couple years later.

No high-rise buildings, and you are 10 minutes from open desert, and 30 minutes from Sky Harbor. Instead of a condo, you might want to consider a "park model" mobile home in a 50+ park. Many of these are gated, well-maintained, and have a pool and other amenities. Inhabited mostly by snowbirds and other retirees, they tend to be to expensive for "trailer trash" folks.

Another radio programmer had a theory once that makes sense to me about cycles in pop music. A new sound takes root, becomes more popular in a few years, then dominates. After people burn out on that, there's a "doldrums" period before the next cycle begins. Each cycle lasts about ten years, and since the rock and roll era is generally pegged as starting in 1955, the mid-decade being the start of a new cycle makes sense. Posted by: Captain Whitebread at June 22, 2017 11:05 PM (rJUlF) I don't remember the exact quote, but Allen Ginsburg said something similar. The "Fifties" started around 1955, and the "Sixties" around 1965. In 1975 we were getting the first glimmerings of both punk rock and disco.

No worries. I worked hard to get Senator Roberts replaced. Along with many others in our local conservative group. We lost. I've met with Senator Moran several times. We told him to replace John McCain in 2014. He came to the last Constitution Bee I ran to shake hands with the winner. The last time I saw him, in the 2016 Wamego 4th of July parade, I told him to get his act together as we were running out of time, and that the Navy's pbho-selected leadership was crap.

Ibguy,
Is Joyce able to walk on her own. I'm so happy for you that Joyce is out and about enjoying her life. Saw FIL last week and he's in a wheel chair and Can only walk with a walker and assistance. I wish his wife would let him enjoy the things he is still able to, like good food instead of worrying about fat, salt, sugar, etc. for fucks sake she won't even let him have real ice cream. She bought some half fat, no sugar "ice cream". When she asked who wanted ice cream, I was thinking, "that's not fucking ice cream, I don't know what it is, but it's not ice cream". It was really depressing since it also felt like she didn't want us there and seemed to be trying to stop us from seeing him. We were there for 5 days and only got to see him 3 times, the last time was literally for 5 minutes when we just showed up unannounced to say good bye on the last day since she basically told us not to come over.

John Mellencamp, however, lives up to his nickname, "Little Bastard". When I have to play his songs on my show, I turn the studio monitors down until they're over.
His nickname is "cougar". For him to live up to that, he'd have to be attracted to young men. Like Emmanuel Macron's wife. That would be a treat: John Mellencamp and his hubby as the first couple in 2020. Posted by: Steve and Cold Bear at June 22, 2017 11:19 PM (xAvrH) 566
So, Don Kirshners son, Ricky Kirsher, is an absolute nut job who has his own production company. It's almost impossible for him to make a decision, at least that's what I hear.
He was the producer of the DNC national convention this year, and does the super bowl halftimes. I suspect he also produced Obama and the Roman Columns when that happened. Posted by: shibumi at June 22, 2017 11:19 PM (aT+Bx) 567

He couldn't re-name the horse, because the horse already had a name that he, the rider, did not know. And the horse probably wouldn't respond to a different name. He had a name, dammmit! /horses rights, hell yes! Posted by: shibumi at June 22, 2017 11:34 PM (aT+Bx) 616
Weird Dave, when do you arrive in Alberta? If you have time, I could be in the airport area to meet you for a beer upon your arrival. Calgary is about 80 minutes away, and Edmonton is a little over 2 hours for me, so neither one is out of range for me.

I always thought the 1980-83 period was pretty good for music. MTV was actually playing videos, and there was so many different styles of music. Bands from the 70's were making videos along with newer bands. I used to get a kick out of some of that new wave stuff, even though I didn't listen to it. The videos could be pretty damn funny, though quite a few were frigging *cough..gay*.
I will say though, MTV probably had a lot to do with some of the metal genre splitting off and evolving into that god forsaken hair band shit. On the other hand, without that crap speed metal/thrash would not have been born as an answer to the metro metal freaks that started raiding their girlfriend's clothes and makeup. '80-'83 was definitely an interesting time though. Posted by: Berserker- Dragonheads Division at June 22, 2017 11:35 PM (aMlLZ) 619

Horse is slang for heroin, in case you did not know that.
I think "A Horse with no Name" was about trying to go cold turkey and quit heroin. But that's not what people heard when the song was popular. It was just some goofy pop song. "Jane" is another heroin slang (ie, Jane's Addiction). "Sweet Jane" thought it was a love song about a girl named Jane, but was about using heroin to cut the boredom of life. Heroin, or why my 66 year old sister and her husband are raising their two grandchildren. Posted by: Bossy Conservative....unfrozen caveman moron at June 22, 2017 11:39 PM (S6Pax) 638

"In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" heard a DJ tell a good story about that one. Dickie Betts wrote that song, at the time he was having regular back door meetups with the Boz Skagg's girlfriend, since he was out of town a lot. She wanted him to write a song for her, like girls who hang out with musicians do. Well, he couldn't very well name the song for her, but they used to go do the nasty in a nearby cemetery on a blanket, since it was usually a pretty quiet place.
The name on the closest gravestone to their favorite make out spot was Elizabeth Reed. Posted by: Tom Servo at June 22, 2017 11:50 PM (V2Yro) 681

Posted by: otho at June 22, 2017 11:39 PM (lmIoG) Yeah no doubt. For me, metal started losing its way around '84. Iron maiden was phoning it in with that Somewhere in Time album. Although there was a few good tunes, it wasn't the maiden I was used to. Judas priest's turbo album was pretty much a warning of the garbage to follow. When they did that ubergeigh "parental Guidence" I closed the book on them. Speed metal and thrash came on the scene, but a lot of that was mindless dribble, yet some was very good. Still, it wasn't really metal like the Ronny James Dio era of Sabbath, or Accept, or Metal church, or earlier Iron maiden, etc. It split, the heavier dudes went speed metal, and the freaks went hair metal. Of course I went speed metal. lol Posted by: Berserker- Dragonheads Division at June 22, 2017 11:53 PM (aMlLZ) 691

"Sweet Jane" thought it was a love song about a girl named Jane, but was about using heroin to cut the boredom of life.

I listened to an interview with Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull one time. I assumed they had to be zooted on something but apparently not.
He claimed they never used drugs, but rather that their music was fueled by Lowenbrau. On a separate note, when I was in college I asked this girl if she had ever heard Jethro Tull and she said "Oh yeah, I love him!". I knew I was getting laid that night from that moment on.

Funny story (to me, anyway). Good college buddy of mine that was
heavily into music (like me) was hanging out drinking with me and my wife and started talking about the "greatest drug songs". Wife - more than a little naive - was blown away by some of the songs we talked about. So me, being an asshole, convinced her that Starland Vocal Band's "Afternoon Delight" was about heroin. I even did the "skyrocket in flight" while holding syringe upright, pressing plunger to remove air, then "Afternoon Delight!" while mock-slamming needle into my arm. you had to be there. actually the song is about fucking Posted by: ghost of hallelujah at June that is funny. when I was a kid my dad was driving the car listening to that song and my mom noticed he did not change the station after about ten seconds. with the look she shot him it was lucky he did not need stitches.

Hunter is an absolute genius, and an underrated songwriter (widely respected, but STILL underrated). He loved riddles, is incredibly well-read - his songs are replete with biblical references, medieval poetry, obscure history etc.. Of course loved metaphors about the Wild West and gambling.
He loved to ask questions with his songs, but sure as shit wasn't interested in answering them for you. Which is why they're so great, you bring your own experience/interpretation to the table. Posted by: ghost of hallelujah at June 23, 2017 12:15 AM (oAY8z) 741

Yeah no doubt. For me, metal started losing its way around '84. Iron maiden was phoning it in with that Somewhere in Time album. Although there was a few good tunes, it wasn't the maiden I was used to. Judas priest's turbo album was pretty much a warning of the garbage to follow. When they did that ubergeigh "parental Guidence" I closed the book on them. Speed metal and thrash came on the scene, but a lot of that was mindless dribble, yet some was very good. Still, it wasn't really metal like the Ronny James Dio era of Sabbath, or Accept, or Metal church, or earlier Iron maiden, etc. It split, the heavier dudes went speed metal, and the freaks went hair metal.
Of course I went speed metal. lol Posted by: Berserker- Dragonheads Division at June 22, 2017 11:53 PM (aMlLZ) I thought that Judas Preist's "Pain Killer album was their second best. Posted by: Judas' Hat at June 23, 2017 12:25 AM (vBeA5) 758

The went back to a good technical drummer, like what they had with "Stained Class". The guy they had during the '80's was forgettable. Last I heard he was convicted of trying to molest a boy he was teaching drums to.

The commies went down to Georgia they were looking for a seat to steal they were in a bind, 'cause they're way behind and America's refusing to kneel When they came across this man boy wearing pajamas and diddling his twat Soros jumped up on Hillary's rump and said boy let me tell you what You probably could have guessed it But I'm a fellow commie too And were running out of citizens who we can tax and screw Now you wear some fine pajamas boy so give ol' satan his due I got a mountain of gold to buy your soul and take trump down a level or two The boy said my name's jonny ossoff with his hipster beta grin maybe girls will like me and mommy says I'll win Jonny polish up your speech and hone your line of shit the Georgians see just what you are you carpet bagging twit If you win, the media will likely kiss your ass but if you lose we're out a ton of cash Jonny let them plead their case and said lets start this show the media spewed their talking points hoping jonny's balls would grow election day is ours said soros with an evil hiss and as we all expected, it turned out just like this- The Donald sat back in his chair and said you're fuckin' done so pull that thumb out of your ass cause you're the reason why I won Leftists flaming out one by one pissing through cash by the metric ton America spoke and is letting you know Hillary as president no, hell no. when Tuesday night was over the left knew that it was beat they stood around in silence staring at their flaccid meat The Trumpster said just come on back just tell me where and when 'cause I told you silly assholes America will be great again.

Not really a video, and I'm not really a music guy, but on the 75th anniversary of Operation Barbarossa, a little stirring Soviet composition written in response to the invasion, which became sort of the anthem for the war:
http://preview.tinyurl.com/kemh6s3 Related trivia: not only did the Soviets receive repeated, high-quality intelligence warnings from the British, and their own intel network (including the incredible Richard Sorge in Tokyo), but in the 48 hours before the invasion, several highly credible German military personnel defected across the lines with what turned out to be precise info on the start of the operation. Only at, literally, the 11th hour, did Stalin permit some movement and preparation in response to a particularly compelling defector who was debriefed on the eve of the attack.

Yes, but only if you can walk to and from the bar. Try not to stagger into traffic.
Posted by: rickl I was in the state where I was thinking "maybe if I cut off my scrotum where it is the thinnest, I wouldn't hurt that much. And then I would be just like Caitlyn Jenner!"

So since i am stuck out here with this mare and the other one i bought a bathing suit and i went to tractor supply to look at the price on a ginormous stock tank as swimming pool. Im thinking i could put it by the early girls stall, btween her house and Grimmys shop, then the shop becomes my pool cottage. Might even put up some shade cloth. This could be good. Even pleasant.

Foo Fighters came about because of Kurt Cobain's suicide. Its a Dave Grohl vehicle. Foo Fighters was his side project. I don't know what would have happened had Cobain not blown his brains out. IMO, FF is a much better band than Nirvana ever was. Grohl seems like a pretty loyal guy though. Don't think he would have left Nirvana had Cobain not committed suicide.

An amazing Lou Reed cover...... Lou Reed refused to play that song for many years because junkies were misconstruing the lyrics and trying to turn it into some kind of narcotics anthem. There's an audience recording from the late 70s, I think from NYC's Bottom Line, where he berates the audience for yelling out for him to play it, saying something like: "No. Because too many people don't listen to the lyrics. That song was about the horrors of that drug. I can't deal with knowing people are doing it because of that song." Posted by: WhatWhatWhat? at June 23, 2017 04:13 AM (ul9CR) 894

Son of a bitch. Of course I'd have this kind of realization at 5 in the morning. The Left's suicidal alliance with Islam has been a topic I've done a lot of thinking about over the past month. I've come up with a few tenuous explanations, but they always run into a conclusion "The Left is Stupid", which is unsatisfying and likely false.
These people are bugf*** insane, but they're clever as all hell, and there has to be an explanation for how it all works. Here's the pieces, and how they link, as far as I've analyzed it. 1. Iranian Supremacy: Lefties seem to have no special love for the Saudis, but support normalizing relations with Iran. This is enough to indicate a clear preference, even without considering all of the highly-placed Leftists that have connections with Iran. Something about Iran furthers their agenda. 2. Two Religious Cults: Leftism is a cult that believes in no afterlife, and replaces God with an Almighty State that they believe can create an Earthly Paradise. The Iranian regime is an apocalypse cult that believes that it can set in motion a chain of events that will bring about the next revelation (and a perfect world), in the form of the 12th Mahdi. That would normally preclude the two of them working together, unless... 3. The help that harms: The Left must believe that by helping Iran's brand of Islam become the dominant form, and helping them do the things that they believe cause the apocalypse to happen, will result in a massive failure that destroys Islam's credibility. They then have an audience of 1.5 billion people with a destroyed worldview, who will either be easy to direct in their rage, or seek a new vision of perfection, which they can readily promise.

Posted by: Cato the Rebel Without a Party at June 23, 2017 06:02 AM (J+mig)
My take, and shorter version: Both pisslam and the proggie left believe in chaos, with both thinking they can control that chaos and come out winners. Throw in that old chestnut, paraphrased, 'the enemy of chaos is my friend', and you can see why the Left allies itself with pisslam. Posted by: RickZ at June 23, 2017 06:09 AM (OFItL) 901
I had always figured their alliance was an alliance of convenience, to be discarded once the Great Satan as seen by both sides, aka us, are out of the way...
It's even simpler than that. It's one cult trying to disprove the other's dogma, to gain its following. Posted by: Cato the Rebel Without a Party at June 23, 2017 06:09 AM (J+mig) 902

Posted by: Cato the Rebel Without a Party at June 23, 2017 06:09 AM (J+mig) No, I don't think the left and pisslam are trying to disprove each other's dogma to gain the other's adherents. The left never criticizes pisslam or its policies ('Gays For Palestine' and '[Western] Women For Shari'a', e.g.). But I do agree that it is a marriage of convenience for both. And like I said, they both think they can come out winners. The left, however, are not students of real History. When the Iranian Islamic Revolution occurred back in 1978, one group prominently agitating for Khomeini's return was the Tudeh Party, the Iranian Communist Party; if you look at pictures of the mass rallies from back then, the communist flag was quite visible. Khomeini was more than willing to accept their help in his attaining his revolution. Then, once firmly ensconced in power, The Mad Mullahs put members of the Tudeh Party against a wall and shot them, along with other heretics and infidels, plus those who supported the Shah.

"Both pisslam and the proggie left believe in chaos"
One of my favorite recent (2011) novels is "A Fine Likeness" by Sean McLachlan, a supernatural horror tale set in Missouri during the late stages of the Civil War when Bloody Bill Anderson was on the rampage. (You can get it on Amazon). It depicts "chaos, division and disorder" as literally demonic forces, a sort of unholy trinity that some people willingly serve for their own ends, and others serve without realizing it. It's a very intriguing concept to me and it might explain a lot of what is going on now. Posted by: Secret Square at June 23, 2017 06:43 AM (9WuX0) 905

Posted by: Jean at June 23, 2017 06:45 AM (9TU00) And that's why I think that they don't intend for the "knife in the back" to ever look like a knife in the back. They intend to help the Ayatollahs in such a way that it'll destroy their foundation. They want to look like good, clueless allies until, in their moment of triumph, the Ayatollah's followers see that there is no glorious victory, just another day like any other. Then it's time to swoop in, pick up the pieces, and gain a huge recruiting windfall.
