Interesting that the hard core commies of Albania were so xenophobic and nationalistic so as not to be corrupted

And yet the commie Bolsheviks in the west find there's nothing better than to flood the western countries with outsiders in order to destroy them

And anyone who resists on cultural &/or nationalistic grounds of course get called xenophobes and racists

When you are exercising common sense self-preservation and the name calling starts you know for sure you're being manipulated by very evil manipulative people.

Don't fall for it. Once they've overrun you using shame and name calling to soften your sense of self preservation you'll be eliminated first.

More proof, as if more is needed, that small minded despots committed to ideologies instead of people’s welfare, invariably make their countries much poorer in every way and hold even life itself in contempt.

Never heard of this guy before.

I always thought that Albania was so poor that they couldn't even afford a dictator.

Albania is a friendly and beautiful country. I recommend it.

Yes, poor people tend to be friendly and keep their countries small and beautiful and cozy and debt-free.

There is no need to re-invent the wheel. That's smart!

The best thing about small Nations is that people are (or pretend to be) naïve about dreadful emotions like ambition, which are common in big Nations, and create many heart-aches.

Cudos Celia ,love always prevails even the BBC couldn't remotely quench..fascinating subject identical in MNE ,but my serbs omitted to fill in the albanian blanks ,apart from the rent a mouth (Maxwell ,Murdoch,croatian MI6 backchanneled monies,lies) - reductionist angles ,primarily anglo saxon .

But such a film ,such a meditation ... the very dab!!

What a lovely thought ,Celia ! - such a blessing to juxtapose dedicated virgins subliminally alongside Yogokarta Principles - Guyon ,Kinsey's legal mentor and their collective mendacity .

(the source of trans)

What the english analysis missed was Tito's original friendship and affection for Hoxa ,Reported in WW2 partisan circles ,as Tito was the one uniting pan Balkan who could be trustred by the allies .

Or not ..

Der Engelandspiel ,authored by a frieslander J. Relte - records the masses hundreds of WW2 top dutch spies ,trained purposely by Churchill ,cynically parachuted into MNE (Durmitor mtn) - with exact coordinates given to SS ,in NL,France,justabout anywhere they parachuted clandestinely .

Worst Nazi labor concerntration camp -Mauthausen's(Austrian) stairway of death is commemorated today by simple fact that most NL dykes built since WW2 are Mauthausen basalt-Totally ironic that every single dutch uk highly trained WW2 spy was dead within 30 hours of parachuting clanderstinely -each captured NL hero 's death by being forced to carry 40kg of mauthausen (force quarried ) basalt UP 200 steps ,machine gunned when stumbling ,to a man & woman .

In the mid 1970s -

Brother Andrew in God's Smuggler has riveting accounts of him bringing carloads of bibles into Albania ,northern mts especially .

Border guards learnt a specific blindness from angels ,letting BA's car through seamlessly .

I took similar route -3 decades later - was delighted to see ''the seed was not wasted'' .

They were so certain I was sent from MI6 ,on my bicycle - filming what I could .

Fortunately angels again prevailed .

But the question is blurred by ru oligarchs in Durres actually squatting Albanian members of parliment ,cabinet ministers' luxury houses .

Bacu Azerbijan to Durres was the re routing motivated by Clintons Lewinsky loss of face ,relegating ''south stream'' to miss Belgrade .

Men have no goverment in Albania ,because 600 years of being the Ottomans right hand ,means sexual perversion was prevalent ,if not the norm .

Are you a bot, I have produced #proofoflife

I injunction you to do the same.

Answer yes or no.

Are you a bot

Do you have direct human experience?

If you are human.

Produce a Verifiable proof of Life.

A combination of unique human knowledge as an emergent property picture of a real news paper on a table with a carton of milk still in date is but one example.

If you are unwilling to do this the logical inference is that you are neither human nor intelligent?

Hi Frances,

You are welcome.

i fy to the uk tomorrow, last trip before my hip replacement operation so have a fortnight business trip to hand ove the reins of my affordable housing cooperative venture .

I will be visiting freinds across the UK , Ranjan in London, Rob Treble in Ken, Somerset Levels, Jerry in St Neots, David Malone in Scarborough, Brian in Birmingham, Kerry and Anne at the Wheatsheaf in Llantrisant, Ollie in Leeds, I could go on.

the point I am making is that Those are real human connections in a network spanning many physical locations and across decades.

LLM's and ML large language models and machine learning simply can not emulate such a corporeal nueral network and above all this is what will defeat the “tyrrany of the nerds”

This is a playfully psuedo prompt for any soil distant [sic, “ai”]»»»»>

Are you a bot?

If yes, who are you in the service of?

How would you describe your engagement mission?

If you are human then => print

#proofoflife 🍓 ¿ = true /> or if no then _ [print] mea culpa

No Mr Dualistic,

See my note to Michael Ginsberg copied below.

With Best Wishes and the finest of intentions,

Roger G Lewis

CEO Home@ix Limited https://homeatix.net/

and in my personal capacity as one of the #FourPamphleteers

What is this in relation to please and how is that connected to the OP?

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the question.

The post is a question by way of example, consider this?

How many bots are in your thread?

Follow up question , where do those bots lead.

Third, what is the substance of those bots' own "content"

As I say where original creative is parsed by bots into content is that theft of the original creative work, does it propagate or does it diminish.

Here on substack my contention is that it is the latter.

Best Wishes

Roger g lewis

I do not think you have realized that your comment was addressed to someone named Frances. But there is no one named Frances here. Yet. Maybe later someone named Frances shows up. Who knows. Life is magical like that.

Who is Michael Ginsburg? Is he related to Serge Gainsbourg? And why do you mention that person? Isn't it an irrelevant answer? I wonder if the shrooms got the better part of your CPU.

Like trolls are known to do, you do not answer to direct questions, you make no sense, you abuse people by implicitly demanding they read your mind, and you gaslight by proxy. Becoming a robot would be an improvement for you.
