Everyone who rises to prominence learns to think in the obsequious sentences of an English butler serving cookies to the Prince of Wales.. Wars as the US waged in the last 60 years have always served to prevent democracy at home. |

The truth that Rummy didn't dare utter -- This Administration has greater priorities like giving tax cuts to our wealthy supporters, deindustrializing America by shipping productive jobs like steelmaking overseas, and starting a war based on hype, instead of facts. If we thought you really needed armor, you'd get it. You guys are just shit out of luck. Now get back to work. |

A NEW PUBLICATION |

The ‘happy ending” of the story of Patrick Thompson inspired me again to try to attract the attention of this community to the fact that a exceptional inventor Wayne D. Pickette is currently obligated to work two jobs, as his permanent employment in Solo Cup company ($7.68 per hour) neither allows him to continue his final stage of the work on his special engine, nor even to have ends fully met. I want again to attract attention of numerous local government representatives, who are affiliated with IMC and its media channel, to help Wayne Pickette to get better financial and/or employment’s accommodation.
Stop wearing out and practically killing the hen, which is proven to lay golden eggs, would ya?
Below is in the very condensed shape the chapter from my novel “Moscow-Chicago, Further - Everywhere”, the main part of which is devoted to Wayne Pickette. The content of the chapter presents the truthful account of reality. Though the entire novel is slightly fictional, as I didn’t want to violate the privacy of some people from former Soviet Union, and, therefore, names and some descriptions are changed, all facts and circumstances of American part of this novel are documentary.
I use hereby this opportunity to apologize for the delay of the English version of this novel to everyone, who was intending to purchase this version. Financial problems and connected with them difficulties were the main reason of this delay. I promise that it would be available in full on my web site- www.moscowtochicago.com in the nearest future.
‘Goodridancegripper’, ‘wayward’ (if they are two different persons), and other autocratic representatives of ‘leftist elite’ (or what else you use to call yourself) this book can give you truthful and intelligent description of how looked the real life in the country, which was build on the principals of social equality, when in reality people are not created equal, as some have much more gifts from nature, and some much less. Besides, human souls were always ‘the darkest spots of the creation”. So, purchase it on your own political future’s behalf. When Clintons just transferred a lot of approaches directly from political structure of freshly collapsed USSR, it looked very ridiculous, try to avoid it and to understand what exactly you are going to preach in the future.
Currently, however, the novel is available in both shapes, bound copy and electronic copy, only in the Russian version of it, and can be purchased either through our web site or through me directly. |
