I really appreciate you and Edward Slavsquat. You don't make things happier but make them make more sense. Edward hit it out of the ballpark with his latest piece on BRICS. I'm on the cusp of a paid membership with Edward, and I'll leave a note that I heard of him through your blog.

Concerning Putin, I don't think its counter to any of your information to say Putin didn't want or expect a long, drawn-out costly war. He's not a great 3-D chess player or even 2-D chess player, as he didn't anticipate all his opponent's moves. He was checked (not checkmated) easily by the simple tactic of refusing his gambit to overrun Kiev in exchange for a reasonable, not to say extremely generous, offer for peace terms.

What you're saying is that the war is as much a mechanism for the spook agencies of both sides to win power as it is a strategic quest for a national goal. The countries and their peoples are simply milch cows for the benefit of the spook farmers.

"You have to support the good things and denounce the bad things. That is how their God elects his saints after all. Just consult the church literature."

Again your ignorance of Christianity surfaces. Salvation from the eternal just wrath of God the Father, i.e., election, precedes any good works. The good works that God has prepared for his elect are completely unknown to the elect before regeneration by the Holy Ghost which is the mechanism of election. Salvation from the eternal just wrath of God the Father is not for sale.

"I suppose it was inevitable that as I got bigger, I’d have to lay down the ground rules for commenting on the blog."

What is this about laying down the ground rules for commenting? You can't stand the heat, so you have to follow the children of the devil and eliminate freedom of expression? You don't believe that we the people reading these comments cannot figure out who are the vacuous flamers? Isn't it enough to limit comments to paid subscribers?
