most conflicts are a result of one side at least is really backwards and as you say "cretin" and on top of it for good reasons uneducated and inherently lazy to improve his own standing and life standard.

Unfortunate in most cases it is a biological / genetic phenomena and not a lot can be done about it after it hormonally established itself and in some cases due to congenital thyroid deficiency which disfunction results in. the person being mentally handicapped suffering from congenital iodine deficiency.

As a general rule use of violent force directly or via more modern accessories tools does require little more smarts than just pulling a trigger as you need also to aim at the right person.instead of committing suicide

Interesting statistics of such conditions and the events that happen as a result of this medical deficiency and unfortunate it makes sense as Iodine deficiency is the most common preventable cause of brain damage worldwide. en.wikipedia.org

the world has now a clear divide as it always had and it will always will.

the divide now is Haves vs Have nots.

As I mentioned before, ideologies are dead. People don't raise based on them. they raise based o pockets and stomachs.

The Haves, Japan, China Euroland US, know things the shirtless aka Have not don't. They have tried all kinds of ways to foment growth. To no avail.

What you mentioned in the case of Thailand railways. I did in the case of MAP Jakarta metropolitan area buildout by the Japanese, or the US financing of power in Africa, are now controlled manners to avoid these countries go under water.

The ideal would be plain re-colonization but we know it is not going to work. Thus, Japan, China Euroland US, aka the Haves, will try a new brand of colonization, Fomenting growth and keep the local governing elites in place.

This is the new Baktun….we are less than 2 years in…..one eminent physics writer said….Time is bigger than space, as each moment of time contains all of space. this is not the time to be cynical. with all the uncertainty there is also uniform predictability…curtailing circular reference….is the 1st step in understanding…by way of example, they are trying desperately to reinstitute the peak oil paradigm…too bad for those wasting time on that, and all the other last battles not worth mentioning. The Variable Time does indeed dictate the shaping of a mans capital. All prices remain artifacts of prevailing systems intent. The relative duration of the holding on by circular reference, will need to come to terms with this, the new Baktun…like it or not new MQS's are forming and most are wholly out of touch consigned as they are, to a compartmentalized life, where the last lie is the same as the next.

A baktun (properly b'ak'tun / ' b ?? k ? t u? n /; [1] Mayan pronunciation: [?ak' 'tun]) is 20 katun cycles of the ancient Maya Long Count Calendar. It contains 144,000 days, equal to 394.26 tropical years. The Classic period of Maya civilization occurred during the 8th and 9th baktuns of the current calendrical cycle. The current baktun started on 13.0.0.0.0 — December 21, 2012 using the GMT correlation.

J. Eric S. Thompson pointed out that it is erroneous to say that a Long Count date of, for example, 9.15.10.0.0 is in the “9th baktun”, analogous to describing the year 209 AD as in the “2nd century AD”. However, the practice is so well established among Maya epigraphersand other students of the Maya that to change it would cause more harm than its perpetuation. [2] So the current practice of referring to the previous baktun as ”baktun 13” or “thirteenth baktun” may stand, even though it is properly the fourteenth baktun. Alternatively, the first

history is very interesting

especially when one or the other side try to
put a time-stop when it wishes to, then the re-interpretation and revisionism
starts

it is always amusing when cretins and such do so for obviously
transparent reasons

and try best to pull a curtain on whatever happened
right before the time-stop

good thing about history is that the timeline
goes back, way back, to time zero, and it extends forward, until
whenever


Jay, I would like to recognize that statement as one of the most profound to recently hit this board. I would also like to add that we all (cretins and non-cretins alike) use those selective historical time-stops to generate emotions that will rationalize our opinions and actions.

Haim has provided an excellent historical backdrop for the Ukrainian/Russian crisis, and other historical rationales such as 911, Hiroshima, Pearl Harbor, Holocaust, ad nausium still provide emotional fodder. One must generate strong emotions around some real or perceived wrong at some point in history in order to dehumanize others. The first step in any war is to dehumanize the other side. It makes killing others something less than murder, and dying for the cause an act of martyrdom.
