It is times like these that as an American I can feel the 1776 vibe and say to Cambridge Analytica and Britain. You wanted out now get and stay the fuck out!

The most dangerous man in the world and of course he will use religion to get whatever he wants as that's what religion has always been used for by the oligarchy, controlling the simple-minded people he will use as cannon fodder to gain more power. Religion ruins everything and is the true root of all evil.

Edit if you don’t mind, though you did not even ask me for an edit:

Putin and Brexit and Flynn started it in 2015.

The English flag is not racist, it is not fascist, having one does not make you ‘far right’

We are allowed to be proud of our country.

Really how much clearer can the Great Britain News be.

The Russian Orthodox Church celebrates three St. George feast days each year -April 23 as is expected, November 3, to commemorate the consecration of a cathedral dedicated to him in Lydda, and on November 26, for when a church in Kiev was dedicated to him.

This is what Great Britain News promotion of laundered flags and laundered climate change denial monies help to do:

I agree with this to a point.

But Britain did not fail to defend.

Ukraine reminds of the Spanish Civil War.

Back in the 30s, Britain and France failed to defend the Republic. Mussolini and Hitler’s successful support for Franco paved the way for WW2...

Putin is trafficking Ukrainians from Mariupol to the parts of Ukraine occupied by Russia, and to Russia itself. They are brought to “filtration camps”. From there, some end up in Vladivostok, some in Kazan, Sakhalin, a few — those who managed to hold on to their passport— make it back to Ukraine via Estonia or Finland. Ukrainian kids are being put up for adoption in Russia. There’s talk of forced labor, of torture. This is what Malcolm Nance is fighting against. What Flynn stands for.

This clip of Flynn is batshit crazy. He calls Zelensky a Fascist. If anyone would believe that. His tone of voice is desperate, I think his money from Putin has dried up and he is without resources.

You may well be right. However, I'm still not so sure that Putin believes in anything other than his own power. And, as far as organized religion goes, it is authoritarian by nature and manipulates its believers emotions. It naturally lends itself to fascism. As a born and bred Southern Baptist, I am respectfully just sayin'.

Oh Lord 🙄 . Lived 30 miles away from Nashville in the late 70s. I was very young and a “Yankee”. 😂 The Baptist RULED back then, and the kids FREAKED ME OUT.

I am not Religious. I dig much of the Art, Music, and History associated with major World Religions, including Christianity.

The basic lessons of kindness, empathy, forgiveness etc. are good lessons if people actually implemented them into their behavior. And I, personally, am FAR FROM a stalwart of those lessons. ButI I try.

Anyway, those Baptists sure LOVED to tell everyone they were going to Hell ☹️😉🕊❤️

Oh I completely agree that underneath it’s pure narcissism, but the opinion of experts, which I agree with, is that he is now not just fascistic, he is messianic as well.

Yes. Definitely messianic for sure. Just like Flynn. PS--I'm not Baptist now. I put away that childish thing a half century ago. Thanks again, Jim, for your important work.
