Think of it as some stories of historical figures, a look into how people lived several thousand years ago and some good lessons on how to live your life. Forget the church aspect.

In truth, the so-called "Arab Spring" was an Arab spring cleaning. That is to say, time for the Empire to "clean out" those nations that won't cooperate with their disgusting full spectrum world domination plan.Sun, 5 Feb 2012 15:56:00 +0400http://english.pravda.ru/opinion/columnists/03-02-2012/120412-america_sheriffs_obama-0/Something extraordinary and historic took place mere days ago in Las Vegas, Nevada.

We're at the tail end of this war, and it's become mostly about making a quick last buck for contractors.
