Why Are American Presidents So Old Now?
New "media" are popping up on Google News (US)!
For European people, the whole thing is quite reminiscent of the official organs of the USSR...
- United States Trade Representative (.gov): Reciprocal Tariff Calculations
- Federal Reserve Board (.gov): Speech by Vice Chair Jefferson on the U.S. economic outlook and central bank communications
- Federal Reserve Board (.gov): Speech by Chair Powell on the economic outlook
“Parking lot” - "Автостоянка" (red writing on the wall)
Talked with dad yesterday and the first thing he asked me was "what does our leader want with the zoos..?" So I had to tell him that there was something ideologically wrong with the national zoo (apparently). He said "there's also something about the museums?" Yes, our leader is not happy with the ideological purity at various Smithsonian museums. Dad said "oh man .... Back to USSR!"
We also talked about how the president wants to run the Kennedy center and dad brought up how Stalin was *very* involved with the opera and ballet in USSR, and that every new movie that was released had to get his approval.
So yea, ideological purity.
The maga guys are so afraid of "socialism"/"communism", yet their BS makes people who actually lived under those regimes shake their heads and say "here we go again".
It almost makes me wonder whether some of these maga people would have been very enthusiastic censors and agents of the Soviet state! Snitching on people and happily turning them in.
Today in Labor History March 29, 1951: Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage. They were executed at Sing Sing in 1953. The Rosenberg’s sons, Michael and Robert Meeropol were adopted by Abel Meeropol, the composer of “Strange Fruit,” (made famous by Billie Holiday). The sons maintained their parents’ innocence. However, after the fall of the Soviet Union, decoded Soviet cables showed that their father had, in fact, collaborated, but that their mother was innocent. They continued to fight for the mother’s pardon, but Obama refused to grant it. The Rosenberg’s sons were among the last students to attend the anarchist Modern School, in Lakewood, New Jersey, before it finally shut its doors in 1958.
The Modern School movement began in 1901, in Barcelona, Spain, when Francisco Ferrer opened his Escuela Moderna. It was one of the very first Spanish schools to be fully secular, co-educational, and open to all students, regardless of class. His ideas were so popular that 40 more Modern Schools opened in Barcelona in just a few years, while 80 other schools adopted his textbooks. In 1909, there were mass protests and a General Strike against Spanish intervention in Morocco. The state responded with a week of terror and repression, during which they slaughtered over 600 workers and falsely executed Ferrer as an instigator of the protests. His execution led to worldwide protests. Modern Schools started to pop up outside of Spain, inspired by his original Escuela Moderna, including 20 in the U.S.

Lying awake my wandering mind associated the #Communist newspaper of the #USSR named #Pravda, which commonly translates as #Truth, with the #neoFascist in the Whitehouse naming his media platform Truth.
It's interesting how the principles and values play out in reality.

It is also possible to learn from new documents that the former military leadership of the Kwantung Army did not consider the testing of bacteriological weapons on living persons a crime against humanity, explaining this by the fact that there were no prohibitive international acts on this subject, and cynically justified these experiments by the need to determine the effectiveness of deadly microbes.
The names of Soviet prisoners of war, who had been tortured by the Japanese secret service and could not be made to work against the Soviet Union, were also revealed and sent to their deaths in 1945 to special unit 731 of the Kwantung Army, where experiments were conducted on them.
