Murder of Dignity
(3 comments) New Orleans, I believe was a template for the way to 'handle' all of us. And this template is exercised again and again. I believe that we all are now New- Orleanians and our dignity is being murdered. Please, read how it was done then, in the Y2005.

The 9/11 Thoughts
(8 comments) This article promotes the utmost necessity of the judiciary mechanism to be engaged right away. Only that way we can prevent another war, save our children and the children on the planet. There is no other way.

Satire Must Hurt
(3 comments) There does not seem to be any satire in the US. It is because humor in the US is like a eunich- it is totally castrated, it has no bite. And satire, a real one must have a bite. It has to hurt where it hurts. It has to be insulting, bad, rough, caustic, tough. It has to be remembered.

Slimy Love 4: In Your Face. A Monologue Of An Angry Jew
(27 comments) From the author: I don't like him. Sometimes I don't like him at all. We argue all the time. But he never quits. He comes to me during my insomnia and he says that stuff again and again. When I tell him to shut up he whispers. I can't get rid of him. So I share him. Here he is.

Human Coprophagia 3 ½. Russian Immigrants Love Bush!
I wrote this as a diary in the Y2005. Now it seems more relevant than ever. Similar to Andy Bard Schmookler I want to explain what I have to endure. Those are my people. I belong to them. BUT!

May 9. Glory and Sorrow.
(3 comments) This is my traditional article and I am in a hurry. On May 9 there will be a Victory Parade in Moscow but I will not have an access to a computer. Traditions, though, must be preserved. On this day of Glory and Sorrow I, a US citizen of the Russian/Jewish origin do my duty and express my everlasting gratitude to those who won the WWII- to the Russian soldiers.

Israel- A Haunted Land
(10 comments) This is by no means a full picture of the Israeli society. It is rather a slide show. But there is no malice in my narrative and neither do I take any sides but my own. Sharing is paramount. I share.

Russians from CT in Alaska. Y2006
(2 comments) That rainbow was like the spirit of Alaska. I saw that rainbow and for me it will be always there and now Alaska belongs to me and my wife forever. It was our Northern Exposure. What is the state flower of Alaska? Forget-me-not? That's true.

I spoke to Colonel Sherburn
I published this as a Diary in 1985. It has not withered from old age since then. Same applies to Huck Finn and Colonel Sherburn. They are still talking. To us.

Human Coprophagia-2. A Message Of Tough Love.
(6 comments) A lot of people had entered the domain of human coprophags since I introduced the concept. For those who are new I repeat that human coprophagia is a deliberate, self-inflicting and self-indulgent love and consumption of thy own feces as well as feces of other humans whether physically or spiritually. It is such a fun to watch.

American Doki
(1 comments) I wrote this in March 2005. It seems even more relevant now. The Devil of War roamed around for a while until he settled here, in the comfortable place of the US got nuts. That is we got nuts. We opened the gates for Doki and he came in.

On Kings and Cabbage and Opednews
(5 comments) I love the movie 'Something to Talk About'. There people suddenly realized that they had a lot of issues to resolve. Issues, which sometimes carry a big baggage. I also love O'Henry. He has a novel ' Of Kings and Cabbage'. Even the King has to eat sometimes... So, off we go.

EMPTY HEART: Historical roots of the phenomenon of Colin Powell
(10 comments) When we are booted out of Iraq and out of all the Middle East, after some cool- off period I assume, Iraqis will identify the most hated man in the US. And that man would not be George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Ramsfeld or Condi Rice. That man will be Colin Powell.

The Pathfinder (a tribute to Robert Fisher)
(1 comments) Both great Americans, Morphy and Fisher served their purpose. But while Morphy was a founder, a genius of principles and deep thinking, Fisher was a promoter, a brilliant master of application and accessibility.

What's Homeland Security Up To
(9 comments) Although it seems obvious that the gradual slide of the US society towards lawlessness is more of the German type, it should also be clear to the people that evil transformations have a lot in common no matter where those occur and that's why we should discard our arrogance and learn from the unfortunate experience of the others.

Blessed Be the 9/11 Truthers and Others like Them
(6 comments) olonel Bowman, Joel Hirshhorn, Professor Griffith, many other outstanding engineers, scientists and just simple citizens think there is a lot of fishy stuff going on about the official version of the 9/11 event. Why?

On My Word of Honor
(15 comments) We must call Merde what is Merde and we must not surrender and we must prevail because we are not even surrounded. We are on our grounds and on our soil and Merde is in minority. The French Guarde died with honor. We can win if we take our honor back. Parole d'honneur. On my word of honor. Pardon my French.

Slimy Love 3 ½: The Juwes
(4 comments) Humor and policies, humor and violence are not compatible. The Jews had developed through generations a sense of humor of the highest order- the humor of the wise. That humor always starts with self- criticism, with a little bit of laughter on themselves; a true Jew would always look from aside, see deep and laugh with good intentions. Not without some bite and bitterness.

The Armed Corpses
Honor works both ways, folks. Honesty to each other is the primary foundation for it. Let's start from the 'Honest work for Honest pay'. What work, is it honest? What pay, is it honest? That's honor- in acknowledgment. Let's talk. Just don't lie.

Illegals, Legals and Darkness
(20 comments) Them! That's the key word. We build a wall around our country to protect us from Them! We are a bunch of stupid morons who elected Bush two time and he screws us up and kills our children but that is OK; we just are afraid of Them, whoever we do not know, those Illegals we never saw who take our jobs and do not pay taxes.

EVIL Non- Stop
(7 comments) I beg all people to be careful. There is only one vaccine from the creeping evil. That vaccine is self- awareness and the capability to assess oneself honestly.

On Cleavage, Booty and Boredom
(2 comments) Boredom is the primary drive for the change in the societies. Vanity is the main underlying motive for the everyday behavior of an individual. Everything we see, everything we have, everything we acquire has those two forces at the roots. Greed, lust, power, compassion, altruism, etc- all those things are the derivatives from those two and we, the people better understand that about ourselves.

Faces
(2 comments) Diana had a face. She did all she could to retain it and redirect the shining at the people she loved. She took care of her boys so that their faces lit up since early childhood.

On Humans and Divine
(1 comments) All the stories above, real, apocryphal and fictional have one thing in common: they show the great spirit of Humanity, the conviction, the dignity, the powerful message of an independent mind whenever and whoever dared to use it.

Human Coprophagia
(7 comments) Unlike with canines, human coprophagia is a deliberate, self- inflicted and self- developed character feature. It is an ability to generate poop and consume it with joy, whether it be yours or someone else's. Humans cannot be trained to keep away or obey the 'Off' command.

Warlock Y
(1 comments) Warlock means 'traitor'. Boris Yeltzin, the one so praised now by all those Undead in power was such a quintessential traitor that when he retired President Putin had to issue a special decree of immunity from any prosecution for him and his relatives. In sorts Putin protected the Warlock Y from his own country because the wave of hate could physically be felt.

Species 8472?
(3 comments) If we want to even approach the issue of immigration properly and constructively we need to know those people. They must not be the Species 8472 to us. We need to push for the joint US- Mexican groups, lots of those with migrants and immigrants included as reps. We need to hear them and they have to hear us.

The Bush's New Stormtroopers Plan Ramps Up His War Against America
(2 comments) All politics is local. It is self-evident that whatever the current administration does, its target is not abroad. The war is not on terror and it is not in Iraq or Afghanistan. It is not even with Iran. It is here. It is the war on us.

Slimy Love. Racism as a Private Hell.
(3 comments) Racism is a disease of the heart. It does not manifest itself by the way you treat other people. It manifests itself by the way you treat yourself.

Pride and Joy and Me
(1 comments) Two musical pieces define my destiny. The first one is the Farewell of the Slavic Woman March, the pride and glory of my former country, the masterpiece of its soul of eternal sacrifice. And the second one is the Battle Hymn Of The Republic, the magnificent patriotic song of the US Civil War, 'Glory, Glory, Hallelujah, The Truth Is Marching On!' I listen to it and I see Julia Ward Howe as the face of my new home.

Lessons Learned; Thoughts on the death of Anna Politkovskaya
(2 comments) You look around yourself and from now on include into the circle of the loved ones the people who you know are doing more than you do on the quest to goodness. They are usually not saints. They can be difficult and incommunicado. They make mistakes and are frequently wrong. But they carry the Divine Spark. Protect them. Care for them. Warn them and watch them. Do not let them go alone no matter how much they want to. Pres

(2 comments) It is important for all of us in the US to come to understanding that certain individuals are harmful to our country. Those are the ones that are unfortunately currenlty in power and also those who serve them. They hate this country.

RAPE, USA
(1 comments) Our behavior, the behavior of our nation resembles the behavior of the deranged sexual predator down to the letter: seduce, control, rape, make do perverse things, make pictures of that, sell those, get more and more, become more and more violent, seduce, control, rape, drugs, death. See your face in the mirror? It is the face of the rapist.
